Nizamuddin Tahzib

Nizamuddin Tahzib (1933/34 2016) was an Afghan jurist, politician, and member of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) who served as the chief Justice of Afghanistan during the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan era. He also served as the minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs and minister of Information and Culture following the Saur Revolution and was associated with the Parcham faction of the PDPA.

Following the reorganization of the Afghan judicial system in 1358 SH (1979–1980), the Presidency of the Supreme Court of the Ministry of Justice was re-established as an independent organ of the state under his leadership.

Tahzib remained politically associated with the Parcham faction. A chronology published in the Historical Dictionary of Afghanistan notes that he was removed from his position as chief justice in July 1990.

Following the Afghan Civil War in 1992, Tahzib was forced to leave Afghanistan and spent the last years of his life in London. He died in London in 2016.
