Kulbhushan Jadhav ICJ Verdict LIVE Updates: World Court Rules In Favour Of India
 

India had sought to annul Kulbhushan Jadhav's death sentence and allow him consular access.

NEW DELHI: 

The International Court of Justice today ruled in favour to India in the case of former Navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav who had been sentenced to death by a Pakistani Military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism". In its ruling, the Hague-based court affirmed Mr Jadhav's right to consular access and called on Pakistan to review and reconsider his conviction and sentence.

The court further said that Mr Jadhav's execution should remain suspended until Pakistan effectively reviews and reconsiders the conviction/sentence. The court also recognised Pakistan's breach of the Vienna Convention.

In its appeal, the India had sought to annul the sentence. 

The session today was held under the presidency of Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf.

Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested by Pakistan the March 2016 and accused of "espionage". A year later, a Pakistani military court sentenced him to death. A month later, India took Pakistan to the world court and Mr Jadhav's execution was stayed in May 2017. India asserts that Mr Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran, where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy. India also accused Pakistan of denying him consular access in violation of the Vienna Convention.

In December 2017, Mr Jadhav's meeting with his wife and mother was allowed by Pakistani authorities. India accused Pakistan of harassing them on their visit to Islamabad. In February, the ICJ held a four-day public hearing in the case.

Here are LIVE updates on the Kulbhushan Jadhav verdict:

Kulbhushan Jadhav, 49, was arrested by Pakistan in March 2016 and accused of "espionage" (File)

 
NEW DELHI: 

The death sentence of retired navy officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, accused by Pakistan of spying, will remain on hold until Islamabad "effectively reviews and reconsiders" his conviction, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled today.

The world court, ruling in favour of India, granted it consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav. The verdict was 15 to one in favour of India.

The Court rejected, however, most of the remedies sought by India, including annulment of the military court decision convicting Kulbhushan Jadhav, his release and safe passage to India.

India had challenged the "farcical trial" that Kulbhushan Jadhav was put through on the basis of what it called an extracted confession, and had asked the world court to order Pakistan to annul the sentence and allow India consular access.

The verdict was read out at a public sitting of the United Nations court in The Hague.

Kulbhushan Jadhav, 49, was arrested by Pakistan in March 2016 and accused of espionage, a charge India has rubbished.

A year later, Mr Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court.

A month after the former officer's death sentence, India took Pakistan to the world court, and the execution was stayed in May 2017.

Pakistan claimed that its security forces had arrested Mr Jadhav from Balochistan province on March 3, 2016, after he entered the country from Iran.

India asserted that he was kidnapped from Iran, where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy.

In ICJ hearings, India accused Pakistan of denying consular access to Mr Jadhav in violation of the Vienna Convention.
