Kulbhushan may face protracted legal battle

NEW DELHI: Kulbhushan Yadav, sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court, could face a protracted legal battle to avoid execution, foreign media reported quoting highly placed official sources in Pakistan and India. 

Islamabad-based sources said Yadav could move an appellate military court, followed by the Supreme Court and the president.

“The government has not been given the relevant paperwork on Yadav’s trial so far,” an official at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said, “but we are exploring what legal avenues may be available."
