ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Saqib Nisar on Wednesday administered the oath of office to Justice Mansoor Ali Shah as a Supreme Court judge at a simple but dignified ceremony. Justice Mansoor was previously serving as the Lahore High Court chief justice.
The judges of the Supreme Court, attorney general, senior lawyers, law officers, and officers of the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan and the Federal Judicial Academy attended the ceremony.
