The move comes after Pakistan court ordered the Pakistan government to give 'another chance' to India to appoint a counsel for the death-row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Aug 03, 2020 PTI The Pakistan government, in a petition, asked the Islamabad High Court to appoint a legal representative for Kulbhushan Jadhav so that it can fulfil its responsibility to see to the implementation of the ICJ’s decision.
