THE HAGUE, (DNA) – The Indian legal team sought annulment of self-confessed Indian spy Kulbhushan JKadhav’s death sentence or a retrial in a Pakistan civilian court on Wednesday.

Deepak Mittal, the joint secretary of India’s Ministry of External Affairs made the concluding remarks by reading out the relief sought by India with regards to Jadhav after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) adjourned the hearing of the high-profile case till Thursday.

He asked the court to annul Jadhav’s death sentence by a Pakistani military court, arrange his release and send him back to India. “If not so, then annual his sentence and refer his case to a civilian court awarding India right to appoint lawyer for his defence,” he remarked.
