Masood A Sheikh has been appointed as ad-hoc judge of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Supreme Court. Chief Justice Muhammad Azam took oath from Sheikh in the AJK apex court building in Mirpur on Monday.

Meanwhile, AJK Bar Council members boycotted the oath-taking ceremony as well as court proceedings to register their protest against the appointment of new judge on ad-hoc basis. They described it unconstitutional and against the merit.
