ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday adjourned hearing of case regarding appointment of a counsel for Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav till October 5.
A three-member bench, led by Chief Justice IHC Justice Athar Minallah, was hearing the matter. The court adjourned the hearing on the request of federal government. The court also issued notice to the counsel of the Indian High Commission to appear before the court on next date of hearing.
Earlier in April, the Indian High Commission had moved a plea before the IHC, praying appointment of a counsel for its spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. The Indian authorities had previously avoided responding in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case and for the time approached the court, submitting that they had the right to provide a legal counsel to the Indian citizen.
