Islamabad: Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian citizen imprisoned in Pakistan's jail, has got a big relief from the Islamabad High Court. The High Court on Tuesday allowed Kulbhushan Jadhav to take more time to engage a lawyer for himself. A three-member bench of Justice Athar Minallah, Justice Amer Farooq and Justice Miyangul Hasan Aurangzeb was hearing the matter filed by the Law Ministry. The matter was related to giving a council to Kulbhushan Jadhav.

In the court, Pakistan's Attorney General Khalid Javed Khan and counsel for the court Hamid Khan were also present during the hearing. During the hearing, the Attorney General said that the court had ordered on May 5 that Kulbhushan Jadhav should be given one more opportunity to engage as a lawyer. He said that as per the order of the court, this message was given to India, but there was no response from there.

The Attorney General in the High Court said that India wants Jadhav to be given a lawyer who talks to him alone in a closed room, but this is not possible in any country. He said that the administration will not allow Kulbhushan Jadhav to hold talks with the Indian consul in private. He can harm Kulbhushan Jadhav even by just shaking hands.
