A local court in Islamabad has issued an arrest warrant for former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Tanveer Ilyas over a diplomatic passport case. The court also rejected his plea seeking exemption from personal appearance.
During proceedings at the District and Sessions Court, the judge dismissed Tanveer Ilyas’s application for exemption and directed authorities to ensure his immediate arrest and production before the court.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has already registered a case against the former AJK premier for alleged misuse of a diplomatic passport. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are reviewing the documentation and related evidence.
The court adjourned the case until November 24, instructing the FIA to submit a progress report on the execution of the arrest warrant. Legal experts suggest that Tanveer Ilyas may face further scrutiny depending on the FIA’s findings and court proceedings.
The issuance of the arrest warrant underscores the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring accountability in cases involving misuse of official documents and diplomatic privileges. Tanveer Ilyas has not publicly commented on the court’s decision, and it remains unclear whether he will present himself before authorities voluntarily.
The case has attracted significant attention in AJK and Islamabad, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding the misuse of official privileges by public officials. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and ensuring that legal procedures are followed.
