Attorney General Khalid Javed Khan told the court that Pakistan granted India ‘consular’ access to follow the orders of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). However, he has not responded to Pakistan’s proposal to appoint a lawyer for Jadhav. The court, after hearing the arguments, ordered the government to send orders on Jadhav to India.
