As Islamabad asserted that it is ready to fulfil all obligations under the international law, Pakistan on Saturday accused India of "misrepresenting" the verdict of the International Court of Justice in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
India on Thursday asked Pakistan to address the "shortcomings" in a bill brought out to facilitate reviewing the case of Jadhav, saying the proposed law does not create a mechanism to reconsider it as mandated by the ICJ.
Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi in New Delhi said the Review and Reconsideration Bill 2020 does not create a mechanism to facilitate effective review and reconsideration of Jadhav's case as mandated by the ICJ judgement.
He added that municipal courts cannot be the arbiter of whether a state has fulfilled its obligations in international law.
Jadhav, a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism in April 2017.
