The word Kachcheri, is being stated to be a Hindustani word. The source that is stating this according to the citation is the book "The Management of Official Records in Public Institutions in Sri Lanka: 1802–1990", in page 28. I have done some researching, and I have not been able to find anything about this book on the web. Thus it is a source with poor reputation for checking the facts. See /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#Questionable_sources
The word Kachcheri is a Tamil word, and often used in daily bases. I have added source from the Tamil dictionary: http://agarathi.com/word/கச்சேரி
Before reverting back, add proper source, with better reputation for checking the facts.

L Manju, childish behaviour :) .The source has very poor reputation, it is nowhere to find on net. How do we know the book even exist then?Why don't you provide any form of proof that this book states your claim? According to Wikipedia policy, a source should not have poor reputation for checking the facts, which this source indeed has. Agarathi.com is a professional website, and is recognized as one of the best online Tamil dictionaries.
I am not going to undo your revert and create a edit war. I will delete that part. It should only be re-added with a proper source, and the current one is not a proper source. Muvendar ( talk) 21:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
According to [ http://www.wordow.com/english/dictionary/?t=kachcheri ], "Kachcheri is a Hindustani word initially used for the Revenue Collector's Office in the early years of the British Colonial Administration in Ceylon (Sri Lanka)."
According to the Historical Dictionary of Sri Lanka, [1] "Kachcheri is an Indian term introduced by the English East India Company when Great Britain conquered the island from the Dutch East India Company and has remained in use up to the present." -- Guy Macon ( talk) 15:36, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
