Pakistan’s deadline for filing a review petition in the high court against Jadhav’s sentencing terminated on Monday. India thinks that there is no need to respond to
Pakistan’s continuously altering position, and also deadlines, in the case.
Islamabad had promulgated an ordinance on May 20 asserting to ensure through it an effective review and reconsideration of Jadhav’s case, as pleaded by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year.
As per the ordinance, the review petition had to be filed in 60 days. Nonetheless, with Pakistan refusing to provide consular access in private, India has not been able to confront Jadhav on his legal rights.
After, the Opposition in Pakistan condemned the Imran Khan government of providing Kulbhushan Jadhav a way out, the country’s Ministry of Law and Justice on Sunday denied the allegations calling them “baseless”.
Earlier, Islamabad, Pakistan said that Indian prisoner on death row Kulbhushan Jadhav has denied to file an appeal in the Islamabad High Court against his conviction by a military court despite Pakistani authorities” offer to do so, a claim dismissed by India as “farce”.
