Shortly after clamping emergency, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf [Images] on Saturday appointed Abdul Hameed Dogar as the country's new Chief Justice to succeed sacked Iftikhar Mohd Chaudhary, an icon of anti-Musharraf movement.

Dogar, one of the judges of the Supreme Court who had heard a petition challenging the continuance of Chaudhary as Chief Justice, was sworn in by Musharraf at a ceremony held at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.

He is among four judges who took oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order which came into force following imposition of emergency.

The other three judges of the apex court are Justice Nawaz Abbasi, Justice Faqir Muhammad Khokhar and Justice M Javed Buttar.
