Despite four months after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict on the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, the Pakistan government is not taking appropriate steps as per the verdict. On the other hand, the work of spreading rumors on Jadhav case through the media is necessary. A spokesman for the Pakistan Army made it clear late evening that the information to give legal relief to Kulbhushan Jadhav was incorrect.
On Wednesday, it was first reported in the Pakistan media that Kulbhushan Jadhav might be allowed to file a case in the civil court there against his execution. For this, the relevant section of the Army Act will be amended. There was a discussion throughout the day in the Pakistan media about how this decision would give relief to thousands of ordinary Pakistani citizens besides Jadhav, but by late evening, the Pakistan Army made clear that it had no intention of stopping such reports. Is not. A hint has been given to consider other options in the ongoing issue of Jadhav.
It is believed that this news has been leaked on behalf of the Pakistan Army to gauge the public's mood regarding the amendment in the Army Act. Anyway, according to the decision of the ICJ, the Government of Pakistan has to conduct a legal process against Jadhav, a former officer of the Indian Navy, in a transparent manner and according to the Vienna Agreement. If amendment is done, India will also be able to provide legal help to Jadhav in the civil court of Pakistan.
A spokesman for the Pakistan Army made it clear late evening that the information to give legal relief to Kulbhushan Jadhav was incorrect. There are several legal options for consideration in this case which are being considered and will be informed when the time comes.
