New Delhi
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague will begin hearing on On May 15 on India’s appeal against the death sentence to its national Kulbhushan Jadhav by a military court in Pakistan for espionage and subversion.
The ICJ had yesterday stayed the execution of Jadhav in an urgent communication to the president of Pakistan.
India instituted proceedings against Pakistan in ICJ, accusing Islamabad of “egregious violations of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations” in the detention and trial of Kulbhushan Jadhav. Last month, Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Gautam Bambawale had asked for consular access to Jadhav for the 16th time.
