MAZALIM COU R TS It has the power to remove any official of state regardless of their role or
rank, including, most importantly, the Khalifah if he persists in pursuing apath that lies outside of the terms of his Bayah.
Ordinary citizens who have a complaint against the state will be registered
with the Court.
The Council of the Ummah can also refer disputes arising between itself andthe Khalifah to the Court.
What is unique about the Court of Unjust Acts is that the Qadi Mazalim hasinvestigatory powers and can open an investigation without a plaintiff.
The court constantly monitors the actions of all officials of the state and alladopted laws to ensure it conforms to Shariah and that no oppression(mazlama) is committed against the people.
