The government was going to this amendment in compliance of the order of the international court of justice.
LAHORE: (Urdu Point/ UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Nov 13th, 2019) In order to comply with the condition of International Court of Justice, the Federal government on Wednesday decided to amend the Army Act to give Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav right to appeal before a civilian court.
According to the sources, the federal government would amend the Army Act--which previously had denied right to appeal to Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav. "The governmen would amend the law to give right to appeal to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav," said the sources privy to the development.
In its decision, International Court of Justice had rejected most of the remedies and demands sought by India in Kulbhushan Jadhev case. The India also asked the International Court of Justice to declare null and void the Pakistan military court's decision in which Kalbhushan Jadhev was convicted for spying for India.
However, the International Court of Justice directed Pakistan to provide effective review and reconsideration of his convicion and sentences according to its sown justice system.
On April 11, 2017, a military tribunal sentenced Kulbhushana Jadhav sentenced to death for espionage and fomenting terrorism in Pakistan.
“Indian RAW Agent / Naval officer 41558Z Commander Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav alias Hussein Mubarak Patel was arrested on March 3, 2016 through a Counter Intelligence Operation from Mashkel, Balochistan, for his involvement in espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan.
Pakistan army said that the spy was tried through Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under Pakistan Army Act (PAA) and awarded death sentence. The FGCM is the military equivalent of a civilian criminal trial and is conducted by a military tribunal.
