According to paragraph 146 of the judgment of the Court of Justice, Pakistan is bound to grant the right of appeal to Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav through the High Courts of Pakistan under the International Court of Justice (Review and Reconsideration) Ordinance 2020
He said that paragraph 147 of the decision made it clear that Pakistan was bound to review the sentence of Kulbhushan Yadav by its own choice.
