Explanation: The constitution has envisaged the creation of Judicial Committees in each of the 753 local level units. They will be headed by the deputy mayor in municipalities and by the deputy chairperson in rural municipalities, and deliver justice on disputes.

The three-member Judicial Committee will consist of two members elected by the members of the Village Assembly or Municipal Assembly from among themselves. The purpose behind this constitutional provision is to ensure that justice is home-delivered, in every sense of the word.

The principal role of the judiciary is to protect rule of law and ensure supremacy of law. It safeguards rights of the individual, settles disputes in accordance with the law and ensures that democracy does not give way to individual or group dictatorship.
