Pakistan's additional attorney general said that Indian navy officer, Kulbhushan Jadhav was invited on 17 July 2020 to file review petition to reconsider and review his sentence and conviction. He added that Kulbhushan Jadhav was provided to exercise his legal right to file review petetion. Kulbhushan Jadhav insisted on mercy petition he filed on April 17, 2017. Pakistan has now reportedly offered second consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Many media houses are stating that Pakistan is hiding some truth or Jadhav had understood that there will no point in filing review petetion, as decision would be same as Islamabad HC. But the point here to understand and doubt is why would a person not choose every option available to him on death penalties.
Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested from Balochistan and sentenced to death by Pakistan on charges of espionage and terrorism in 2017. Indian foreign ministry stated in 2017 that he has been kidnapped from Iran and Pakistan cannot give any credible reason for his presence in Pakistan. On 18 May 2017, International Court of Justice stayed the execution. On 17 July 2019, court refused India's plea to release Kulbhushan Jadhav and ordered Pakistan to review entire process of trial and provide him with consular access. Kulbhushan Jadhav was provided consular access from Pakistan only once and subsequent requests from India were blocked.
