ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday approved the appointment of retired Justices Sardar Tariq Masood and Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel as ad hoc judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan for a one-year term.
According to a statement issued by the President’s House, the approval was given under Article 182 of the Constitution. Both judges have previously served on the Supreme Court.
Last week, the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) approved the nomination of these two retired Supreme Court judges for the ad hoc positions. A JCP meeting, presided over by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, was held last Friday to consider the nominations.
