Panel of Sherpang and Surpang

Panel of Sherpang:

Whenever necessary, the Chief Justice Commissioner may appoint, in consultation with the Kashag, a panel of Sherpang consisting of not more than three members to assist the Chief Justice Commissioner and the two other Justice Commissioners in the case proceedings. Out of the three Sherpangs, at least two must have earned a degree in law from any recognized law colleges/universities.

The tenure of the Sherpang is three years, but there is no objection to their re-appointment.

Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission has, so far, appointed only one Sherpang. After his resignation, no appointment has been made.

Panel of Surpang:

Whenever a major case deems it necessary, a panel of Surpang consisting of not more than nine members, who are familiar with the case, may be directly appointed by the Chief Justice Commissioner to ensure fair administration of justice. However, no such Surpangs have been appointed so far. The Chief Justice Commissioner has been appointing three law graduate staffs of the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission as Surpangs.
