Pakistan restores judges ousted by former president Musharraf
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Pakistan's Supreme Court on Friday reinstated three judges ousted by former President Pervez Musharraf in another victory for the man set to succeed him as head of state in a Saturday election.
Judges Tassadiq Hussain Jillani, Shakirullah Jan and Syed Jamshed Ali were sworn back into the court in a solemn ceremony on Friday.
Musharraf's purge of the court last year deepened his unpopularity and helped the party of assassinated former premier Benazir Bhutto to victory in February elections.
Bhutto's widower and political heir, Asif Ali Zardari, marshaled a coalition that forced Musharraf to quit last month. Zardari is expected to win easily when lawmakers elect a new president on Saturday.
