His lawyer Rana Abdul Hameed said that, his client was involved in smuggling and not terrorism. Moreover, his appeal filed in Supreme Court was dismissed as the appeal was filed with 32 days delay.

Sarabjeet having no one to pursue his case in Pakistan was totally dependent on the justice system and the state was responsible to ensure a legal consultant on time. His execution was delayed several times and a mercy petition was pursued by his family in India.

Legal questions were raised, as to whether the President of Pakistan could pass a clemency orders or commute his death sentence, as the right to pardon in culpable homicide had been shifted to the heirs of the deceased persons under Qisas and Diyat Ordinance.

Mr. Wasi Zaffar, the Federal Minister for Law made a statement that Sarbajeet will not get any benefit from his conversion to Islam.                                         NCJP / Daily Times April 7, 2006
