New Delhi: In a late night clarification, Pakistan said the consular officer of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad can file a review and reconsideration petition in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
While India can file the petition on behalf of Jadhav, his mercy petition can proceed on a separate track.
According to the Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson, the mercy petition in the Jadhav case is a separate process that has nothing to do with the review and reconsideration. The review and reconsideration petition can be filed by Jadhav himself, his legally authorised representative or a consular officer of the Indian High Commission.
While Jadhav’s mercy petition is still pending, India is invited to file review and reconsideration petition to give effect to the Judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), said the spokesperson.
