AbstractIn the Holy Quran and Sunnah, great stress has been laid on fair and

impartial justice. Justice must be provided to every one without favour and

fear. In the Judicial system of Islam, there is no distinction between rich and

poor, between muslim and non-muslim . According to Law, everyone is equal.

In the early period of Islam Judicial system had been established which

provided equal justice to everyone irrespective of his religion and creed. After

the reign of holy caliphs fair and true justice remained as usual during the

caliphate of Umayyads and the Abbasids. Judiciary was totally independent

from the influence of executive. Qazis were not under the control of provincial

governors. They directly accountable to the caliph .The Qazis could summon

the caliph in their courts. The caliph had to accept the verdicts of the Qazis. If

government officials and Qazis were found guilty of malpractice and violating

their respective authorities, they were terminated from their positions and

severely punished. The civil cases of non-muslims were decided according to

their respective religion, while criminal cases were decided by Qazis. Speedy

and free justice was provided to everyone without considering his religion or

creed. Beside Qazis, Mohtasibs were also appointed to control crimes and

cruelty. The culprits were arrested and punished on the spot. No one could

escape from the shackle of law. According to law, everyone was equal.
