Justice KK Agha takes oath at Federal Constitutional Court ceremony

ISLAMABAD: Justice K.K. Agha took oath as a judge of the newly formed Federal Constitutional Court, with Chief Justice Aminuddin Khan administering the oath at a ceremony attended by senior members of the judiciary.

Other Judges of the Federal Constitutional Court — Justice Aamer Farooq, Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Ali Baqar Najafi — were present on the occasion. Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, along with other IHC judges, also joined the ceremony, while representatives of the Islamabad High Court Bar Association, including President Wajid Gilani and Secretary Manzoor Jajja, were in attendance.

Earlier, IHC judges Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir and Justice Muhammad Azam Khan arrived for the event, followed by Justice Inaam Amin Minhas, Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro and Justice Muhammad Asif.

Soon after the Senate passed four bills tied to the 27th Constitutional Amendment, the government moved quickly to operationalise the new judicial framework.

Justice Agha’s appointment brings the FCC bench closer to full strength, with the government now considering increasing the total number of judges from seven to thirteen, a move that would require fresh parliamentary approval. Staff Report
