New Delhi: A Pakistani court has asked India to cooperate in the death sentence case of Kulbhushan Jadhav. At the same time, the court said that appearing before the court does not mean a relaxation of sovereignty. The court has adjourned the hearing of the case till June 15.

A three-member bench of the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday began hearing a petition filed by Pakistan's Law and Justice Ministry seeking the appointment of a lawyer for Jadhav. According to a report published in Dawn, Attorney General Khalid Javed Khan told the court that Pakistan last year enacted the CJ (Review and Review) Ordinance 2020 to comply with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict so that Jadhav could get legal measures.

He further said that the Government of India did not deliberately attend the court hearing and is objecting to the case before a Pakistani court and also refused to appoint a lawyer for the IHC hearing saying it was "like surrendering sovereign rights." Jadhav (51), a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death in April 2017 by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism.
