About The Judiciary

Hon. Khamis Ramadhan Abdalla

Chief Justice

The court is a legal institution that ensures the enforcement of laws in accordance with the Constitution. It is an important institution for resolving disputes, as it delivers justice based on the facts of each case brought before it. In Zanzibar, a dual legal system is used, which includes the Kadhi's Court that handles Islamic legal matters such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance, as well as the Civil Court, which deals with non-Islamic matters, including criminal cases and civil rights. This system ensures that the law respects the beliefs, cultures, and traditions of the people while providing justice for all, regardless of differences in religion, ideology, or social status
