The agreement was apparently kept as a secret document up to 1990s. It was not reported in the newspaper reports of 1949, the memoirs of Sardar Ibrahim or any other sources. It was revealed for the first time in the Verdict on Gilgit and Baltistan (Northern Area) by the High Court of Azad Kashmir in 1990s, which states that the agreement "appears to have been executed on 28 April 1949."
