The highs and lows of Pakistan’s chief justices’ legacies
The first Chief Justice of Pakistan was Sir Abdur-Rashid. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan’s first governor general, was sworn in by him. The judicial system in the recently independent state was established during his reign, which is noted for its formative importance. In addition to granting him Hilal-I-Pakistan, the Pakistani government honored him by renaming the old Seventh Avenue in Islamabad as Justice Sir Abdul Rashid Avenue.
