harsh but just treatment or action

[moseen]

What does "harsh but just treatment or action " mean?

 

[Raymott]

It means that the treatment was harsh, but nevertheless, it was just. It was consistent with justice.
You might need to look up 'just'. It's not the more common meaning of 'just'.

Thank you Raymott. I can't understand which meaning of "just" is correct.

Does it "justice" means ?

No. "Justice" is a noun. "Just" is an adjective. Did you actually look it up in a dictionary?
