Two more FCC judges take oath
Two more judges of the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) took oath of their office at a ceremony held at the Conference Hall of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday.
FCC CJ Justice Aminuddin Khan administered the oath to Justice Rozi Khan Barrech and Justice (retd) Arshad Hussain Shah.
In their oath, both judges vowed to uphold the Constitution. “I do solemnly swear, I will bear true faith and allegiance to Pakistan, that as a judge of the FCC of Pakistan, I will discharge my duties and perform my functions honestly to the best of my abilities and faithfully in accordance with the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the law,” the judges said in their oath.
Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi, Justice Aamer Farooq, Justice Ali Baqar Najafi and Justice KK Agha had already taken oath of their offices.
CJ Justice Aminuddin was the first to take oath. He was administered the oath at the President’s House.
So far, seven judges of the newly-established court have taken oath of their office, including the chief justice.
IHC CJ Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfaraz Dogar, Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir, Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro, Justice Muhammad Azam Khan, Justice Muhammad Asif and Justice Inam Ameen Minhas were also present at the oath-taking ceremony.
Islamabad High Court Bar Association President Wajid Hussain Gilani and Secretary Manzoor Ahmad Jajja were also present on the occasion.
President Asif Ali Zardari had appointed Justice Aminuddin as the chief justice of the FCC last week, after giving his assent to the 27th Constitutional Amendment.
The initial strength of the FCC was determined through a presidential order, while any future increase in the number of judges will require parliamentary approval through an act of Parliament.
