Pakistan to file counter-rejoinder in Kulbhushan Jadhav case by July 17: Report
Kulbhushan Jadhav
Pakistan's rejoinder will be in response to a fresh set of pleadings filed by India in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on April 17
Pakistan is expected to file its counter rejoinder in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on or before July 17, a report in The Dawn said.
Pakistan's rejoinder will be in response to a fresh set of pleadings filed by India in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on April 17.
The office of Pakistan's attorney general, which is overseeing the case, is expected to receive the copy of the Indian rejoinder in a day or two, Dawn reported.
Khawar Qureshi, who pleaded Pakistan's case at the initial stage, is expected to plead the case, the report said.
Kulbhushan Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April last year on charges of espionage and terrorism.
India had moved the Hague-based ICJ in May last year after Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death. A 10-member bench of the ICJ on May 18 had restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav till adjudication of the case.

Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
In its written pleadings, India had accused Pakistan of violating the Vienna Convention by not giving consular access to Jadhav. It had argued that the convention did not say that such access would not be available to an individual arrested on espionage charges.
In response, Pakistan told the ICJ that the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963 applied only to legitimate visitors and did not apply to spies and to clandestine operations.
India has been maintaining that the trial of Kulbhushan Jadhav by a military court in Pakistan was "farcical".
Pakistan claims that its security forces arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav from restive Balochistan province on March 3, 2016 after he reportedly entered from Iran.
India, however, maintains that Kulbhushan Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy. Jadhav's sentencing had evoked a sharp reaction in India.
India had approached the ICJ for "egregious" violation of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, by Pakistan in Jadhav's case.
