B Correct answer
Explanation

Alauddin Khalji's judicial system was deliberately secular and separate from Islamic religious law (Sharia). He created a 'wordly' (secular) judicial system that gave the state supremacy over religious authorities, implementing rigorous punishments that were not necessarily based on Islamic texts. He wanted to minimize the influence of the Ulema (religious scholars) in political and judicial matters, so a system based on Islamic texts was NOT his policy.
