Azam Khan, Son Abdullah Get 7-Year Jail Term 'Dual PAN Card Case'

Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan and his son Abdullah Azam were on Monday sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment by a Special MP-MLA Magistrate Court in Rampur in the dual PAN card case, marking another major legal setback for the senior politician. 

The court held both leaders guilty of obtaining two PAN cards through alleged misrepresentation of



facts. 

The case, filed in 2019, accused the father–son duo of using different dates of birth and personal details to secure multiple PAN identities, a violation of provisions under the Income Tax Act and the Indian Penal Code.

Following the pronouncement of the sentence, the court also imposed fines on both convicts. They were taken into custody shortly after the order.
