The International Court of Justice (Review and Reconsideration) Ordinance, issued in May, was set to expire on September 17. It allows Jadhav, sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court over alleged espionage, to file an appeal against his conviction in the Islamabad high court. He added that despite the passage of a month since the high court directed the government to offer another chance of legal representation to New Delhi, no reply had been received. It added that the government of Pakistan should inform Jadhav about his rights under Article 36 of the Vienna Convention. India approached the ICJ against Pakistan for denial of consular access to Jadhav and challenging the death sentence.
