However, Pakistan refused to comply with the demand saying the 46-year-old Indian national was a spy and not covered under the bilateral agreement on consular access.
Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad Gautam Bambawale today met with Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua and sought the consular access to Jadhav.
Bambawale asked Janjua to provide access to Jadhav to further pursue his case, including launching an appeal against his death sentence, local media reported.
Pakistan has denied India's request for consular access to Jadhav over a dozen times in the last one year.

Pakistan Army has already rejected any chance of granting consular access to Jadhav who was sentenced to death for espionage and subversive activities by a military court.
Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor last week said consular access cannot be given to Jadhav because he is a spy.
It was second time that Bambawale has met Janjua to seek consular access to Jadhav.
On April 14, Bambawale had met with Janjua, showing increasing concern of India about the fate of Jadhav. He told media after his meeting that he had asked for list of charges and authentic copy of verdict of military tribunal against Jadhav to launch appeal against his conviction.
He also said that India was seeking consular access on the basis on international law humanitarian grounds.
Pakistan Foreign Office has said that during the period of trial of Jadhav, due judicial process was followed and he was provided a lawyer in accordance with relevant laws and the Constitution of Pakistan.
Pakistan claims its security forces had arrested Jadhav from the restive Balochistan province on March 3 last year after he reportedly entered from Iran. It also claimed that he was "a serving officer in the Indian Navy."
The Pakistan Army had also released a "confessional video" of Jadhav after his arrest.
However, India denied Pakistan's contention and maintained that Jadhav was kidnapped by the Pakistan authorities.
