Abdul Hameed Dogar
Abdul Hameed Dogar (Urdu: عبدالحمید ڈوگر) is a Pakistani jurist who served as the former Justice of Sindh High Court, before being appointed Chief Justice of Pakistan by President Pervez Musharraf, after he dismissed the superior judiciary and declared emergency rule in 2007.
Following the Proclamation of Emergency by General Pervez Musharraf as Chief of Army Staff, on 3 November 2007, Justice Dogar took oath on PCO and was administered the oath of office of Chief Justice of Pakistan.
After Musharraf's resignation, the judiciary was restored in 2009. On 31 July 2009, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled that the oath taking under Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) was not legal and that Justice Dogar was never a Constitutional Chief Justice of Pakistan, as the office of the Chief Justice of Pakistan was never vacant by the de jure Chief Justice. Hence, the Supreme Court treated him the de facto Chief Justice of Pakistan by protecting his all administrative, financial acts and any oath made before him in the ordinary course of affairs of the office of the Chief Justice of Pakistan, except the recommendations made by him in respect of appointments and reappointments for the offices of the superior judges.
Justice Dogar was born in the village of Gaarhi Mori, in Khairpur District, Sindh province. He passed LLB from Law College, Punjab University, Lahore in 1969. He was enrolled as Advocate in 1970 and practiced law for 25 years before his elevation to judiciary. He also attended Third Lawyers Courses/Lectures in Shariah in 1991 in International Islamic University, Al-Azhar University, Umm al-Qura University, and Islamic University of Madinah.
Dogar held the post of General Secretary of the District Bar Association Khairpur from 1973 to 1974. He became Joint Secretary of the High Court Bar Association, Sukkur Bench from 1984 to 1985. He was consecutively elected President of the District Bar Association Khairpur during 1987–88, 1989–90; 1991–92, 1993–94, and 1994–95.
Dogar became Elected Vice-chairman of the District Council of Khairpur from 1979 to 1983. Simultaneously, he became Member of the Sindh Madressah Board Karachi from 1980 to 1983 and held the post of Honorary Secretary of the District Red Crescent Society Khairpur from 1980 to 1985.
From 1988 to 1990, Dogar became Member of the Board of Governors in the Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Sukkur. By 1996, he was Syndicate Member in the Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur, a position he held until April 2000. He also briefly held the post of Chairman of the Board of Governors IBA from 7 March to 27 April 2000.
In March 2003, Dogar was nominated as Member Board of Governors, National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad. In April 2004, he received nomination as Judge-in-Charge/Chairman of Supreme Court Employees Cooperative Housing Society, Islamabad in April 2004.
