Explanation:
The first Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Abdur Rashid, took the oath of office from Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah when he became the first Governor-General of Pakistan on 15 August 1947. As per tradition and protocol, a senior judge or chief justice administers the oath to a Governor-General or Head of State. Having a judge administer the oath gave constitutional and legal legitimacy to the new government of Pakistan.
It also reflected a transition from British colonial rule to sovereign statehood under the rule of law.
Justice Mian Abdur Rashid administered the oath to Quaid-e-Azam as the first Governor-General of Pakistan on 15 August 1947 because he was the senior-most Muslim judge at the time. His role ensured the ceremony followed legal and constitutional norms during the formation of the new state.
