| Abstract: | This article delves into the workings of justice administration in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The state has numerous tribal communities and each of them has its traditional (authority) institutions for justice delivery. The tribal communities of the state have integrated modern justice administration as part of the state’s larger constitutional and administrative growth, through various Regulations and Acts. The article examines the relevance of traditional justice administration, exploring the interface between modern and traditional justice institutions based on observation and their co-existence. Further comprehending both the alterations and the enduring aspects. The traditional institutions hold significance in administering justice to a rural level of the tribe’s larger population and the article emphasises the importance of sustainable utilisation and preservation of this indigenous establishment. |
