CJ FSC Refuses To Administer Oath To Newly-Appointed Judges

Chief Justice Federal Shariat Court (FSC) Justice Agha Rafiq has refused to administer oath to newly-appointed judges of Federal Shariat Courts. Sources said that the CH FSC took this decision due to having disagreement regarding the appointment of judges in the said courts.

Justice Agha has suggested to appoint Habib Ullah Shakir, Roshan Ali Raisani and former deputy attorney general Raja Arshad as judges. However, President Zardari approved the suggestion of Habib Ullah Shakir but included the names of Ismail Bhutto and Mumtaz Mehfooz.
