ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Islamabad district and sessions court on Monday issued an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, in the diplomatic passport case.
While hearing the case, Judicial Magistrate Ahmed Shahzad Gondal ordered the detention of the former prime minister.
Tanveer Ali applied for exemption from appearance; however, the court rejected the application. While rejecting his exemption plea, the court directed authorities to ensure his arrest and production before the court.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has already registered a case against the former AJK premier over the alleged misuse of a diplomatic passport.
The court has adjourned further hearing of the case until November 24, instructing the FIA to submit a progress report on the execution of the arrest warrant.
