IEA leader: All judges are independent in decision making
Supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzada, has told the judges that they are independent in decision making, and that a Sharia system is judged based on how the courts operate.
Speaking at the conclusion of a 10-day seminar in Kandahar province, Akhundzada said that he will acknowledge the independence of the judiciary when a governor or a commander involved in a case appears before court and the judge issues a ruling against him.
Akhundzada also emphasized that obeying the emir’s order is obligatory for all.
He said that the judiciary is superior to the other branches of government, and that it will be given priority.
Akhundzada said that they will increase the number of people working in the judiciary if needed.
