ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has reportedly allowed India another chance, till April 13, to provide counsel to Kulbhushan Jadhav.

According to details, a larger bench comprising of Chief Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Amir Farooq, and Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb, on the request of the Law Ministry has agreed to provide government counsel to Kulbhushan Jadhav to implement the decision of the International Court of Justice (IHC).

The Attorney General apprised India of the progress of the contacts made on Jadhav and said that India wants the court proceedings in Pakistan to stop so that it can appeal to the International Court of Justice. Chief Justice Athar Minallah remarked that the decision of the ICJ expressed confidence in the Pakistani court and the matter of reviewing the death penalty was left to Pakistan, perhaps India did not understand the decision properly.

The court inquired, has any Act been passed on this matter? Attorney General Khalid Javed Khan said the Act was passed in December last year, according to which the law ministry could file such a petition against foreigners. However, India has no interest in providing a lawyer for Jadhav. According to the Attorney General, India is of the opinion that neither was Pakistan’s first law right nor is the new act. In addition, the Attorney General said that India wants to humiliate Pakistan, but praise to be Allah Almighty, Pakistan has always thwarted Indian tactics with its actions.

In response, CJ Minallah said that India should consider Kulbhushan Jadhav as a human being. He is an Indian citizen but we consider him a human being.

According to reports, the Attorney General remarked that India only considers Kulbhushan Jadhav an “asset”, not a human being. When India sent Jadhav to Pakistan, it changed his identity from Kulbhushan Jadhav to Hussein Mubarak Patel. The Attorney General added that when such intelligence officers are sent, there is a “design” behind it. India is against court proceedings in Pakistan because its plans will fail.

The IHC reportedly moved to grant another opportunity to India, stating that India should consider Kulbhushan Jadhav as a human being and decide its position for his legal counsel, respectively.
