Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009

The Nizam-e-Adl Regulation (Urdu: نظام عدل ریگولیشن, lit. 'Order of Justice') was a act passed on April 13, 2009 by Government of Pakistan that formally established Sharia law in the Malakand division. Pakistan People's Party led government passed the bill after a coalition partner ANP government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa negotiated the peace deal with outlawed Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi.

The measure was enacted in the context of the collapse of the Waziristan Accord and the onset of the War in North-West Pakistan, which was triggered by the Siege of Lal Masjid.
