According to the state-run Pakistan Television, six judges of the Supreme Court were administered oath Saturday night, including the new Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar who is from Sindh. He was appointed a high court judge by Benazir Bhutto, when she was prime minister of the country.
The judges who opted not to take the oath under the PCO included Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry who was restored in August four months after Musharraf suspended him. Justice Rana Bhagwandas, the only Hindu judge to reach the second highest position in judiciary, also did not take the oath.
