(b) He was justly punished by the court.

(a) He had only four chairs (not more than four)
(b) He only lent the umbrella. (He didn't sell it.)
(c) He gave the pen to me only. (not to anyone else)
(d) I believe only half of what he said (not everything what he said)
Note: The differences in meaning. e.g.
B. The adverb 'just' like 'only', should also be placed before the word it qualifies. e.g.
(a) I'ii just nuy one.
(b) I had just enough money.
It can also be placed before the verb.
(c) I'll just buy one.
(d) I just had enough money.
Note: That the change of position would change the meaning.

The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
