The AJK Legislative Assembly identifies Shah Ghulam Nabi as his father and lists Khawaja Sari, Tehsil Sharda, District Neelum, as Qadir's permanent address. An AJK Supreme Court judgment also identifies him as the son of Shah Ghulam Nabi and records the same home area. His publicly documented relatives include his son Asad Aleem Shah.
Shah Ghulam Qadir Daughter
Shah Ghulam Qadir daughter is publicly documented, although reliable sources do not clearly identify her by name. Official AJK records document his father, while established reporting identifies Asad Aleem Shah as his son. Since no dependable government record or established news source verifies a daughter's identity, giving a name would introduce an unsupported biographical claim
