history

Established by royal decree in 1924, the Supreme Court of Sharifistan allowed for greater consultation on judicial rulings then having them solely decided by the Chief Qadi. This was held to be in line with the Islamic principle of Shura (consultation). The other judges can overrule the Chief Qadi by a two thirds majority (8 judges),however, since the other Judges are appointed by the Chief Qadi and can be dismissed by him, international observers say this check on the Chief Qadi's power is purely theoretical.

Powers

It has can take appeals from any Muslim courts (including High Courts, Petty Sessions' Courts and Courts-Martial as well as Muslim Personal Law Courts), unlike those other courts they are not bound by precedent, being only bound by the Book of Justice (Sharifistan) and Maturidi Islamic law.
