On Saturday, Justice Yahya Afridi took the oath as the 30th Chief Justice of Pakistan. President Asif Zardari administered the oath during a ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad, attended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and all apex court judges.

Justice Afridi’s tenure in this top judicial position will last three years, following the enactment of the 26th constitutional amendment.

The ceremony started with a recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by reading the official notification of Justice Afridi’s appointment. Ali Amin Gandapur, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, also attended the event.
