Who administered Quaid’s oath as Governor-General?

Upon the independence of Pakistan on August 14, 1947, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, known as Quaid-e-Azam, became the first Governor-General. The administration of the oath of office for such a high constitutional position is a solemn ceremony typically performed by the highest judicial authority.

Justice Sir Mian Abdur Rashid, who was the first Chief Justice of Pakistan, administered the oath of office to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the first Governor-General of Pakistan. This historic event took place on August 15, 1947, in Karachi, marking the formal assumption of office by the founder of the nation.

• Liaqat Ali Khan is incorrect; he was Pakistan's first Prime Minister, not a judicial officer.
• Muhammad Munir is incorrect; he later became Chief Justice but was not in that position in 1947.
• Shahabuddin is incorrect; he also served as Chief Justice much later and was not involved in Jinnah's oath ceremony.
