LAHORE: Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah will take oath as 45th Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court on Tuesday (today) at a ceremony to be held in Governor House.

Governor Malik Muhammad Rafique Rajwana will administer the oath to Justice Shah.

Justice Shah was elevated to the bench on Sept 15, 2009 and has since authored several judgments on constitutional law, human rights, administrative law and environmental sustainability.

He has helped re-engineer Punjab Judicial Academy in order to improve judicial training and capacity building for the judiciary and the ministerial staff. He is currently working on developing the first ever ADR Centre at Lahore in order to provide alternative dispute resolution platform for litigants.

He lays emphasis on research and has been the force behind setting up the Lahore High Court Research Centre (LHCRC).
