Constitution of Pakistan

Imran Shafiq, all oaths of office have in common that the person taking the
oath declares that he will be loyal to the Constitution of Pakistan and that he
will discharge his duties fearlessly and with zeal. According to him, when
any person holds a constitutional office, he performs his duties based on
the mandate of the people. The president of the state takes oath from such
personalities. The term of Dr. Arif Alvi has ended, but it is a good
coincidence that the judge against whom a reference was sent with his approval
in the past, today was taking the oath of office of the Chief Justice.

Justice Qazi Faiz Isa is
so sensitive in the matter of oath that many times he keeps reminding various
officers and officials in the court of his oath. During

to re-read their oath.
