MUZAFFARABAD, Jan 30: Newly-appointed judges of the AJK High Court, Justice Sardar Mohammad Nawaz Khan and Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mughal, were administered oath by Chief Justice Syed Manzoor Hussain Gillani here on Wednesday.

The judges were appointed on Tuesday, after an advice from AJK Council Chairman Gen Pervez Musharraf.

At one stage, when the learned CJ and the judges were still upstairs, some senior lawyers who could not find a seat in the narrow hall had left the venue in protest. But, the court officials managed to bring them back to the hall.
