Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf Wednesday signed a notification to restore eight judges who were sacked last year, local TV channel DAWN NEWS reported.
The law ministry will issue a formal notification to reinstate eight judges of Sindh High Court (SHC) shortly, said the TV.
Musharraf also approved the appointment of Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali as the new Chief Justice of SHC, according to the TV.
The restoration of scores of deposed judges came under discussion at the decisive meeting between top leaders of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) at the Zardari House.
Scores of judges were sacked on Nov. 3 last year when Musharraf declared a state of emergency.
The two ruling coalition partners PPP and PML-N agreed in a declaration in March that the deposed judges would be reinstated within 30 days since the formation of new government.
However, the two parties could not agree on the modality of restoration and efforts are still underway to restore the deposed judges.
