"The Home Ministry is consulting judicial authorities in this and we will be in a position to reply once we get a response from the judicial authorities," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin told reporters here.
He said the issue was raised by Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik during a meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari in Tehran yesterday.
Akbaruddin said the executive branch has indicated that it has taken a positive view of the request but would be able to respond once internal consultations were complete.
Pakistan is keen to send another judicial commission to India to cross-examine three witnesses -- two doctors and an exective magistrate who recorded the statement of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani terrorist in the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
Akbaruddin refused to comment on whether India and Pakistan would sign the an agreement easing visa regulation during the September 8 visit of External Affairs Minister S M Krishna to that country.
India and Pakistan announced Krishna's visit today by making identical statements in New Delhi and Islamabad.
Krishna will visit Islamabad for bilateral talks with his Pakistan counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar on September 8.
The talks will be preceded by a meeting of the Foreign Secretaries of the two countries on September 7.
"The two ministers will also co-chair the Plenary of the India-Pakistan Joint Commission to be held in Islamabad on September 8, 2012," Akbaruddin said.
