laws, the problems of power that becomes overlapping may occur in

Courts of Justice, the Administrative Court, the Military Court, or any
other court, the situation will be decided by a combined court committee.
The committee consists of the President of the Supreme Court of
Justice as Chairperson, the President of the Supreme Administrative Court,
the Chief of the office of the Military Court, the President of other Courts
and not more than four qualified persons as provided by law as members.
