On 3 November 2007, the Army Chief of Staff of Pakistan declared the emergency and issued a Provisional Constitutional Order. A seven-panel Supreme Court issued an order that declared the declaration of emergency as illegal and prohibited all judges from taking oath when any Provisional Constitutional Order was in effect. Justice Aslam was a sitting judge on the Lahore High Court who chose to take the oath on 4 November 2007 during a Provisional Constitutiomal Order.[1] At the same time; Sardar Muhammad Aslam, Abdul Shakoor Paracha, Sheikh Hakim Ali and Syed Sajjad Hussain Shah also took oath during PCO.
