Line 1: [[Category:Packilvania]] {{Politics of Packilvania}} The [[Judiciary of Packilvania\|'''Judiciary of Packilvania''']] ([[Packilvanian language\|Packilvanian]]: ''LuQadimiyat aluBakhilfaniya'') is the third branch of the government of [[Packilvania]]. It was created by Chapter 5 of the Constitution of Packilvania ([[Packilvanian language\|Packilvanian]]: ''LuKhanongur alu Bakhilfaniya'') which stipulates that the judiciary shall consist of the Supreme Court and other courts as the [[Sultan of Packilvania]] may create. Furthermore, it states that the judiciary shall adjudicate disputes and dispense justice in the name of the Sultan, currently [[~~Namdun~~Thumim ~~III~~V]]. Moreover, it gives the Sultan the authority to appoint and dismiss judges. Taken together with the Sultan's power to promulgate laws in the form of decrees governing every aspect of the nation, the judiciary is controlled by and entirely subject to the Sultan. The Department of Justice under [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania\|Minister of Justice]], Prince Duwal a-Amhoud Bedon, is responsible for administering the daily running of the judiciary including paying salaries of judges and other judicial officials, maintaining and constructing court buildings, providing judicial support services, and selecting judges for judicial posts below the rank of the High Courts and Religious Appeals Courts. == Supreme Court == {{Main\|Supreme Court of Packilvania}} The [[Supreme Court of Packilvania]] is the highest court in the country. It consists of 21 justices including the [[Chief Justice of Packilvania]]. The number of justices may change as the Sultan determines. Justices of the Supreme Court are appointed by the Sultan at his pleasure. The Sultan consults with the Commission for Judicial Appointments ~~Advisory Panel, an ''ad hoc'' body~~ composed of legal experts such as retired judges, prominent lawyers and renowned scholars in the legal field whom he appoints usually on the advice of the Chief Justice. He is not required to follow their recommendations but almost always does. The Decree on the Appointment of Justices of the Supreme Court was promulgated by Sultan Amhoud I to provide future Sultans with guidelines in the appointment of Justices. Although Sultans are able to ignore these guidelines, they rarely do. This includes the requirement that a Justice of the Supreme Court must have been a judge in a High Court. The Decree discourages the appointment of judges from Religious Appeals Courts due to the limited scope of their competencies and thus knowledge of the law unless such judges have served in the High Court. Furthermore the Decree has more vague provisions encouraging Sultans to respect the decisions of the judiciary and provide it with the support and latitude it needs to exercise its duties without partiality or fear. The extent to which the Sultan's including Sultan Amhoud I have adhered to this advice is questionable as many modern analysts see the Supreme Court as subject to the instructions of the Sultan. On one hand Sultans have been steadfast in protecting the Supreme Court from external political and economic interference but, on the other, they have interfered in its decisions when it suited them.
