Amid efforts for his impeachment, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday approved reinstatement of eight deposed judges of the Sindh high court but the province's sacked chief justice, a critic of the former military ruler, was not among them.
The law ministry had recommended that the eight judges, who were among those sacked by Musharraf during last year's
emergency rule, should be re-appointed and sent an official notification in this regard to the Presidency.The ministry is now expected to issue a fresh order regarding the reinstatement of the deposed judges. However, sacked chief justice of the Sindh high court,
Sabihuddin Ahmed, a critic of Musharraf, was not among the judges who were restored.
