In Kulbhushan Jadhav Case Pakistan has introduced a new maneuver. The government of Pakistan filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court to give Jadhav a consular access. The petition said that Jadhav cannot counsel without the help of the Indian government. It also said that Jadhav has refused to file a review petition against his sentence.
The petition, filed by Ministry of Law and Justice under a Federal Ordinance, expressed that the “IHC should appoint counsel to review and reconsider the verdict of the military court in accordance with the division of the ICJ” reported The Express Tribune.
Earlier, Pakistan on Friday (July 17) formally offered India third consular access to Jadhav, a day after India asserted that the second consular access was “neither meaningful nor credible”. A Note Verbale was sent to India on the matter and India is yet to respond. Jadhav was arrested by Pakistan on alleged espionage charges and is languishing in its jail.
