" Our legal team has the court verdict...it's a confidential document. Sixty days' time has been given to appeal in the highest court of Qatar,'' Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.
“We have noted the verdict today of the Court of Appeal of Qatar in the Dahra Global case, in which the sentences have been reduced,” the MEA said in a statement.
Earlier last month, a Qatari court had awarded death sentences to the eight former naval officers following a secret hearing.
India said it was exploring all legal options and would take up the verdict with the authorities concerned.
