Supreme Court of Karti
The Supreme Court of Karti is the highest judicial authority in the Republic of Karti, serving as the ultimate arbiter of constitutional and civil matters. Established in 1978 following the consolidation of Karti’s modern legal codes, the Court oversees lower courts and ensures legislative compliance with the national charter.
Mandate and Functions
- Highest judicial authority and final arbiter on constitutional and civil matters

Position and Independence
The Court describes itself as strictly neutral and committed to upholding the “continuity of law and order under the Constitution.” Although officially independent, analysts note the Court’s careful alignment with governmental priorities, particularly on economic and security legislation vital to the regime’s stability. On occasion, senior justices have issued decisions restraining ministerial overreach or affirming private property claims, which state broadcasters frame as signs of judicial integrity.
Proceedings and Public Access
The Court’s proceedings are closed to live media. Select verdicts are widely covered by state news agencies as evidence of institutional “discipline and continuity” within Karti’s political framework. The Court’s homepage provides public records, rulings, and judicial circulars in three official languages.
