    The present Nagaland Legislative Assembly is unicameral, consisting of 60 Member of the Legislative Assembly (M.L.A). Its term is 5 years, unless sooner dissolved.[4]

    Judicial

    [edit]

    The Gauhati High Court, located in Guwahati, Assam has a Kohima Bench that exercises the jurisdiction and powers in respect of cases arising in the State of Nagaland.

    District administration

    [edit]

    Each of the sixteen districts of Nagaland has a Deputy Commissioner (DC). Districts may be further divided into "sub-divisions", each of which has an Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) in charge of administration. Larger sub-division may also require a number of Sub-Divisional Officers (SDOs) or Extra Assistant Commissioners (EACs) responsible for administrative circles within the sub-division.[5]
