ISLAMABAD On Tuesday, the three acting high court chief justices and Justice Sarfraz Dogar were sworn in as permanent chief justices.

Islamabad’s Aiwan-e-Sadr (Presidential Palace) hosted the oath-taking ceremony for judge Sardar Sarfraz Dogar, when President Asif Ali Zardari delivered the oath to the recently appointed chief judge. Many prominent attorneys were present at the event.

Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Senate Chairman Yousuf Raza Gilani, and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz were also present at the ceremony.
