Pakistan's incredulous claim on Jhav

Speaking at a press conference arranged by Pakistan Foreign Ministry earlier in day, ditional Attorney General Ahmed Irfan mentioned that an ordinance promulgated in May h allowed Jhav, his legal representative, or a representative of Indian High Commission in Islamab to file a petition for review and reconsideration of his sentence and conviction. He said that this was on lines of ICJ verdict of July 2019. Ahmed claimed that Jhav h refused to file a review plea in Islamab High Court despite being invited by Pakistani authorities to do so on June 17. He ded that Jhav h inste preferred to follow up on his pending mercy petition.

Jhav having business dealings in Iran was abducted by Pakistan in March 2016. After a military court awarded him a death sentence on charges of espion and terrorism in 2017, India moved ICJ. In its verdict dated July 17, 2019, ICJ asked Pakistan to effectively review and reconsider Jhav's sentence and conviction. Moreover, Jhav's death sentence was stayed until completion of this process. ditionally, ICJ directed Pakistan to allow India consular access to Jhav.
