Islamabad High Court gives interim verdict over RAW agent Kulbhushan Jhadavcase.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted on Thursday another opportunity toNew Delhi and Kulbhushan Jadhav to clarify their stance on pursuing thecase before the federal capital’s high court.

The direction came after the Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) KhalidJaved Khan informed the IHC’s larger bench, comprising Chief Justice IHCAthar Minallah, Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzaib,that the Government of Pakistan has not yet received a reply from theIndian Government.

He added that Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav has maintained that hedoes not want to take the benefit of the International Court of Justice(Review and Reconsideration) Ordinance, 2020, for an effective review ofthe case, and requested considering his mercy plea, already pending beforethe Pakistan Army chief.

When the case was taken up, the AGP said that it appears that the Indiangovernment was not interested in availing the opportunity of legalrepresentation and its “focus is on embarrassing Pakistan”.
