Pakistan says no to India's demand for lawyer in Kulbhushan Jadhav case

Pakistan has rejected India`s demand that an Indian lawyer or a Queen counsel should be appointed in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case to ensure a free and fair trial. "Allowing a Queen’s Counsel for Jadhav is out of the question as only a lawyer with a license to practice in Pakistan can appear before the court," Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudri said A Queen`s Counsel is a barrister or advocate, appointed as counsel to the United Kingdom`s Crown on the recommendation of the Lord Chancellor, Pakistan’s leading Geo News reported. Earlier this month, the Islamabad High Court in Pakistan directed the federal government to give India another chance to appoint a lawyer to represent Jadhav and adjourned the hearing for a month.
