ISLAMABAD: The government has moved the Islamabad High Court to appoint a legal representative for Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav.
The government has approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for the implementation of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict in the case of Kulbhushan Yadav. In this connection, the government has filed a petition under a recently issued Presidential Ordinance.
The government has prayed the court to appoint a legal representative for Kulbhushan Jadhav.
The Ministry of Law and Justice, in the petition, had made the federation a party through the Secretary Defense and Judge Advocate General Branch GHQ.
The petition says that Kulbhushan Jadhav had refused to file a plea against the sentence and that the spy cannot appoint a lawyer in Pakistan without India’s help, while New Delhi is also reluctant to avail the facility under the ordinance.
