An Oath-taking ceremony is held for the three newly promoted Supreme Court justices.
The three new Court justices took their oaths of office on Friday in ISLAMABAD before Dunya News’ Justice Umar Ata Bandial, the Chief Justice of Pakistan.
Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Shahid Waheed all took their oaths of office as judges in Pakistan’s highest court, the SC, at a recent ceremony.
In addition to judges and lawyers, law officers, court officers, and staff were present for the oath-taking.
With the addition of the three new judges, the Supreme Court now has a full complement of fifteen members; however, two additional judgeships remain unfilled.
Article 175A of the Constitution provides for the elevation of three judges to the Supreme Court, and on Wednesday President Arif Hussain Alvi signed a summary recommending this action.
