ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Monday issued arrest warrants for former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) prime minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan in connection with a diplomatic passport case.
The case was heard by Judicial Magistrate Ahmad Shehzad Gondal. During proceedings, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas filed a plea seeking exemption from personal attendance, which the court rejected. The court subsequently directed law enforcement authorities to arrest him and produce him before the court. The next hearing has been scheduled for November 24, 2025.
According to court records, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas is accused of using his diplomatic passport to travel to Saudi Arabia after his tenure as AJK prime minister ended.
He was previously arrested on May 20 in an unrelated case linked to a family property dispute. In that case, he faced allegations of attempting to seize property, involvement in a shooting incident, and efforts to take control of a mall’s central office and key documents.
The issuance of the arrest warrant marks the latest development in ongoing legal proceedings against the former AJK leader.
