The International Court of Justice will hold the public hearings on Kulbhushan Jadhav case on Monday, May 15.
On Tuesday, the Hague-based ICJ stayed Jadhav's execution after India approached it against a Pakistan Field General Court Martial decision last month sentencing him to death, according to official sources.
India, in its appeal before the ICJ, has accused Pakistan of "egregious" (shocking) violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
The plea has said that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he was involved in business activities after retiring from the Indian Navy, but Pakistan claimed he was arrested from Balochistan on March 3, 2016.
