Islamabad: Pakistan has reinstated three Supreme Court judges ousted by former president Pervez Musharraf.
Law Minister Farooq Naek said three judges purged during a burst of emergency rule last November were sworn back into the court on Friday.
Deposed chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was not among the three judges reinstated.
The main opposition party quit the ruling coalition last month over the failure to restore Chaudhry.
