A petition has been filed in Pakistan’s Supreme Court seeking immediate execution of Indian prisoner on death row Kulbhushan Jadhav if he fails to get his capital punishment overturned. The petition asked the apex court to order the federal government to ensure an early decision under the domestic laws on any pending appeal by Jadhav.
A Pakistan military court has awarded the death sentence to Jadhav for alleged espionage and subversive activities.
However, the International Court of Justice, through an interim ruling, stayed Jadhav’s execution till the time the case pending with it reached its logical end.
