Jadhav Case: Address Flaws In Bill, Says India

India has asked Pakistan to address shortcomings in a bill that gives the right of appeal to death-row convict Kulbushan Jadhav. The bill empowers the municipal court to decide whether any prejudice has been caused to Jadhav since he has not been granted consular access in accordance with a ruling by the International Court of Justice. India’s point is that a municipal court cannot be an arbiter in a case involving international law.
