Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani would reinstate the deposed chief justice through an executive order, the Geo TV channel quoted the opposition party leader Chaudhry Nisar as saying.

Some 60 Supreme Court and High Courts judges were sacked in November 2007 when then-President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency. Some of them took fresh oath of office while others including former Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry are yet to be restored.
