Lieutenant General Zia Ullah Khan (ضیاء اللہ خان) was a senior officer of the Pakistan Army who served as a corps commander of XII Corps from January 1993 – 1995 and commandant Azad Kashmir Regiment.[1] He had made various contributions in the military and civil development in Pakistan, especially in Balochistan for which he came to be highly respected in both circles.[2] He was known for his service to urge Pervez Musharraf to step down after the 1999 Pakistani coup d'état.[3]

It recognises individuals who have made an "especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of Pakistan, world peace, cultural or other significant public endeavors".
