New Delhi, June 11
Pakistan’s National Assembly on Thursday passed a Bill providing the right of appeal against the death verdict by a military court to former Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav.
The Pakistan Assembly passed the ICJ (Review and Re-consideration) Bill aimed at allowing Jadhav consular access in line with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict. The government was regularising an ordinance proclaimed in May with precisely these objectives.
Pakistan Law Minister Farogh Nasim said had the Bill not been passed, India would have gone to the UN Security Council and could have moved contempt proceedings against Pakistan in the ICJ.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
