Abstract
When one looks into the tribal society, it becomes obvious that the earliest laws which govern the life of those societies are through customs passed on from generation to generation by way of oral tradition. Customary laws are properly developed unwritten laws outside the framework of our written constitution which controls the conduct of tribal people. The presence of customary laws can thus be seen in many societies till now which holds strong historical precedents. Status is recognized by social position within a social group and it is custom which indirectly determine the status, position, and privileges of a person socially. So in common parlance status simply refers to any socially defined position. The status and position of a person in any society has to be viewed in its proper perspective that is in conjunction with the status of the other members of the society. This paper on the “Customary Laws and Traditional Administration with Special Reference to the Sumi Tribal Chief” is an effort to assess the Customary Laws of the tribal societies in general and the role of Sumi Chiefs in the administration of the village. This is because the sense of administration has been existing since time immemorial in the Naga society with certain unwritten codes and ethics. However, different Naga tribes had different internal administration system and like any other tribe the Sumi Nagas devised their own codes and ethics with the Chief and his councillors to execute such laws which are strictly adhered to by every member. The paper also aims to look into the various factors leading to the changes taking place in the system of administration.
