Azad Kashmir interim constitution

The Azad Kashmir Interim Constitution serves as the foundational legal framework for Azad Jammu and Kashmir, providing structure for its governance. Enacted in 1974, it outlines the roles of elected institutions, the powers of the President and Prime Minister, and sets the principles of law and order. It establishes Azad Kashmir as an autonomous region with its own legislative assembly, while still remaining under Pakistani sovereignty. The constitution aims to ensure a functioning government, safeguard basic rights, and maintain stability, adapting to the region’s unique political and social context within the larger framework of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
