In the contemporary world, the redress of public grievances has
a central place in the states ‘administrative system
simultaneously with the formal judicial systems. The prime
example is the institution of the Ombudsman that exists in almost
all countries of the world. The current article presents a glimpse
of this system in a particular period of the Islamic history when
the political institutions of the Muslims were in the early stages
of evolution although sound foundations had been laid down by
the Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W) and his Rightly Guided
Caliphs. This submission shows that the Muslim rulers were
quite conscious of the need of dispensing justice not only
through the formal judicial systems but also sometimes through
informal and speedy intervention to ensure that the abuse of
power and authority is timely checked. These interventions
gradually led towards having an institution for this purpose that
was ultimately called ‘Wilayat al Mazalim’ (The Department of
Grievance Redress). The article is restricted to the rule of two
dynasties as the periods before and after, required separate
inquiry and presentation that has been done in other articles.
