abdul hameed dogar

abdul hameed dogar -lrb- -rrb- is a pakistani jurist who served as the former justice of sindh high court , before being appointed chief justice of pakistan by president pervez musharraf , after he dismissed the superior judiciary and declared emergency rule in 2007 .
following musharraf 's resignation and the general elections of 2013 , the judiciary was restored in 2009 .
on 31 july 2009 , the supreme court of pakistan ruled that the taking oath on pco was not legal and that justice dogar was never a constitutional chief justice of pakistan as the office of the chief justice of pakistan was never vacant by the `` de jure '' chief justice , hence treated him the `` de facto '' chief justice of pakistan by protecting his all administrative , financial acts and any oath made before him in the ordinary course of affairs of the office of the chief justice of pakistan , except the recommendations made by him in respect of appointments and reappointments for the offices of the superior judges .
following the proclamation of emergency -rsb- -rsb- by general pervez musharraf as chief of army staff , on 3 november 2007. , justice dogar took oath on provisional constitutional order -lrb- pco -rrb- and was administered the oath of office of chief justice of pakistan .
