Pakistan rejected India's demand that an Indian lawyer or a Queen's counsel should be appointed for death-row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav to ensure a free and fair trial in this country.
Queen’s Counsel is a barrister or advocate, appointed Counsel to the UK Crown on the recommendation of the Lord Chancellor.
Queen’s counsels are recognised in almost all courts around the world.
A Queen’s Counsel is appointed from within the legal profession on the basis of merit rather than the level of experience.
