Score at the end of seven innings of play . . .

Remember Kulbhushan Jadhav? He's the Indian national convicted of spying by a Pakistani court-martial, but denied consular access in violation of the Vienna Convention. This article by Bharatendu Agarwal in The Wire brings the story up to date, including some funny business about an ordinance that the Pakistani government slow-rolled in bringing before the legislature,* and questions about whether an Indian lawyer will be permitted to represent Jadhav in the Pakistani courts, or, failing that, whether any Pakistani attorney will undertake the representation given the personal risks involved in doing so.

* The only place the Editor was able to find The International Court of Justice (Review and Re-consideration) Ordinance, 2020, Pak Gaz. (Extra), No. VI of 2020, May 29, 2020, pt. I, at 259, was this tweet.
