I am aware of the situation with PoK so called "azad jammu kashmir" being a part of maharaja hari singh's princely state, and Pakistan's illegal occupation. However, Gilgit- Baltistan was ruled by princely states of Hunza and Nagar, which individually acceded to Pakistan, hence why PoK and G-B have different constitutional statuses within Pakistan.
If Hunza and Nagar princely states acceded to Pakistan, where does Indian claim to G-B originate?
“ The period of greatest prosperity was probably under the
Shin Ras, whose rule seems to have been peaceable and settled. The whole population, from the Ra to the poorest subject lived by agriculture. According to tradition,
Shri Buddutt's rule extended over
Chitral,
Yassin,
Tangir,
Darel,
Chilas,
Gor,
Astor,
Hunza,
Nagar and
Haramosh all of which were held by tributary princes of the same family.

The area had been a flourishing tract but prosperity was destroyed by warfare over the next fifty years, and by the great flood of 1841 in which the river
Indus was blocked by a landslip below the Hatu Pir and the valley was turned into a lake.
[14] After the death of Abas,
Sulaiman Shah, raja of
Yasin, conquered Gilgit. Then, Azad Khan, Raja of
Punial, killed Sulaiman Shah, taking Gilgit; then Tair Shah, Raja of Buroshall (
Nagar), took Gilgit and killed Azad Khan. Tair Shah's son Shah Sakandar inherited, only to be killed by Gaur Rahman, Raja of Yasin of the Khushwakhte Dynasty, when he took Gilgit. Then in 1842, Shah Sakandar's brother,
Karim Khan, expelled Gaur Rahman with the support of a
Sikh army from Kashmir. The Sikh general, Nathu Shah, left garrison troops and Karim Khan ruled until Gilgit was ceded to
Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 by the
Treaty of Amritsar,
[1] and
Dogra troops replaced the
Sikh in Gilgit.
Nathu Shah and Karim Khan both transferred their allegiance to Gulab Singh, continuing local administration. When
Hunza attacked in 1848, both of them were killed. Gilgit fell to the Hunza and their Yasin and Punial allies, but was soon reconquered by Gulab Singh's Dogra troops. With the support of Gaur Rahman, Gilgit's inhabitants drove their new rulers out in an uprising in 1852. Gaur Rahman then ruled Gilgit until his death in 1860, just before new Dogra forces from
Ranbir Singh, son of Gulab Singh, captured the fort and town.
[1] In the 1870s Chitral was threatened by Afghans, Maharaja Ranbir Singh was firm in protecting Chitral from Afghans, the Mehtar of Chitral asked for help. In 1876 Chitral accepted the authority of Jammu Clan and in reverse get the protection from the Dogras who have in the past took part in many victories over Afghans during the time of Gulab Singh Dogra.
