Taleban militants in Pakistan's north-western Mohmand tribal area have set up permanent Islamic courts, they say. The districts have been divided into four judicial zones, each having two judges and a permanent court address.
The Taleban have up until now used mobile courts - with no permanent offices or judges - to settle criminal and financial disputes.
They say the permanent courts show the diminishing authority of the central and local governments. In addition the PTM also runs a vast network of mobile courts in the rest of the area.
The Taleban currently control large areas of Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the border with Afghanistan.
