Former AJK PM Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Denies Charges in Court Over Diplomatic Passport Misuse
ISLAMABAD – The hearing of the case against former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Premier Sardar Tanveer Ilyas took place before Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate Ahmed Shahzad Gondal. Ilyas appeared in court, where the charges against him were formally read out. The former premier denied the allegations and confirmed his intention to contest the case.
The court has adjourned the hearing until October 6 and summoned the prosecution’s witnesses for the next session.
Ilyas faces allegations of misusing his diplomatic passport to travel abroad after stepping down from office.

Authorities also noted that Ilyas had failed to return the passport as required by law.
