According to the report of Baaghi TV, following the decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the sentence of Indian agent Kulbhushan Yadav, the government has filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court to meet the requirements of the fair trial.

The Ministry of Law and Justice has reportedly approached the Islamabad High Court. The government has filed a petition under the recently issued Presidential Ordinance to appoint a legal representative on behalf of Kulbhushan Yadav.

The petition further said that Kulbhushan Yadav had refused to appeal against the sentence, adding that Yadav could not appoint a lawyer in Pakistan without Indian assistance, adding that India was also reluctant to avail the facility under the ordinance.

It is to be noted that the Indian spy, Kulbhushan Yadav was arrested on March 3rd, 2018, from the Pakistan-Iran border area. This Indian spy was working as a serving officer of the Indian Navy and an agent of Indian Intelligence Agency, RAW.

Following the arrest of Kulbhushan Yadav, the government of Pakistan summoned the Indian ambassador and formally protested against the illegal entry of Indian spies into Pakistan and their involvement in terrorism in Karachi and Balochistan. After this, a video of Kulbhushan Yadav’s confessional statement was reportedly released.

A month after his arrest, a case was registered against him under terrorism provisions in April 2018, after which a Pakistani military court convicted Yadav of involvement in terrorist activities and sentenced him to death.

In May last year, India had filed a petition in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) seeking stay of the execution of its spy Kulbhushan Yadav. The trial began on May 15 at the request of India, with the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands hearing the case from February 18 to 21 at India’s request.
