c6.s7.12

The Chief Sadar of the empire was called the *Sadar-us-sadur*, the *Sadar-i-Jahān*, or popularly the *Sadar-i-kul*. In addition, every province had its local Sadar. Practically the Sadar was exclusively a civil judge, but not of all civil cases. For the posts of Qāzi and Sadar, men of high Arabic scholarship and reputed sanctity of character, wherever available, were chosen.
