Jurisdiction

A challenge from any judgement, decree, final decision, or sentence of the High Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir may be made to the Supreme Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir under subsection (11) of section 42 of the AJ&K Interim Constitution Act, 1974. Similar to the Supreme Court, an appeal is also available from the ruling issued by the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Shariat Court pursuant to the Islamic Penal Laws Act, Shariat Court Act, and other Islamic Penal Laws.

If the Supreme Court grants leave to appeal, any judgment, decree, order, or sentence of the High Court may be appealed to the Supreme Court in situations where sub-section (11) of section 42 is not applicable. In a similar manner, under subsection (3) of section 47 of the Interim Constitution Act, an appeal may be made to the Supreme Court from a decision made by an administrative court or tribunal if it involves a material issue of law that is of public importance and the Supreme Court grants leave to appeal.

The AJ&K Interim Constitution Act, 1974 does not contain a clause similar to article 184(3) of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 Constitution that grants the Supreme Court of Pakistan original jurisdiction. As the board of judicial advisors and judicial board formerly were, the Supreme Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir now simply serves as the appellate court. Except in an appeal, it cannot consider any direct petitions or issue any orders. Its advisory authority under section 46-A of the Interim Constitution Act is the only original jurisdiction it has. The Supreme Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has equal and identical appellate authority to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
