Provisional constitution in the context of Interim Constitution of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (1974)
The Interim Constitution of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (Act VIII of 1974) provides for an apparently transitory autonomous parliamentary framework of self-governance and power sharing for the region of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, defined by the act as the "territories of the State of Jammu and Kashmir which have been liberated by the people of that State and for the time being under the administration of Government and such other territories as may hereafter come under its administration", however, it does not pertain to areas such as Gilgit, Hunza and Baltistan. The act succeeded and re-enacted the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Government Act, 1970 with modifications. It was promulgated under the Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. The constitution has been amended 14 times till date. It is based on the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan.
The parliamentary system introduced a Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir as head of the government responsible for the executive power. The Prime Minister of Pakistan was to head the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Council. The Council had jurisdiction over most of the legislative functioning, including executive authority over them. Following the 13th amendment in 2018, the powers of the Council were transferred to the AJK Assembly and Pakistan government, leaving it with an advisory role. The amendment also removed importance given to the usage of the word "Act".
