Nice.

Pak SC’s acting Chief Justice is a Hindu

Justice Rana Bhagwandas, the senior most judge of the Pakistani Supreme Court, today took charge as the acting Chief Justice of the country, becoming the first Hindu to assume the top legal post. 63-year-old Justice Bhagwandas, one of the few Hindu judges in the country, took oath as Chief Justice at a simple ceremony at the Sindh bench of the Supreme Court in Karachi. His appointment as acting Chief Justice came as the incumbent, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary, is leaving on a ten-day visit to China. Bhagwandas, known for his hold on the constitutional law, was administered oath by Justice Saiyed Saeed Ashhad of the apex court.

Several judges and officials of Sindh High court and local government attended the ceremony. Hailing from Karachi, Bhagwandas was one of the few Hindus who occupied the top judicial post in Pakistan. Bhagwandas, who made his way up as sessions judge and judge of the Sindh High Court, joined the Pakistan judicial service in 1967. He has also done masters in Islamic studies. He is the second non-Muslim and first Hindu to assume the top post of the country.

I have always been following up him ever since he nominated to Pak Supreme Court in 1992.

Good that Pakistan has gone for a such a move .It will definitely help bolster the morale of the hindu community,and in large the minority community..

Kudos to Pakistan
