The proposed recommendations in this pip include both theoretical formulations and actionable policies designed to enhanced the shariah judiciary in terms of social stature, efficiency, and service quality. Solutions include reaffirming the doctrine of stare decisis in court proceedings, shifting the focus on welfare in case of juridictional overlap, increasing the institutionalisation of the different roles of the two courts, restructuring the pay and emoluments of shariah judges, reviewing social protocols involving members of the shariah court, and improving access to professional service and training.
