ICJ verdict on Kulbhushan Jadhav tomorrow

May 17, 2017 17:58

The International Court of Justice will pronounce its verdict on Kulbhushan Jadhav tomorrow.

India and Pakistan on Monday crossed swords at the International Court of Justice over Kulbhushan Jadhavs case with New Delhi demanding the immediate suspension of his death sentence and Islamabad accusing it of using the world body as a stage for political theatre through a misconceived plea.

The two neighbours -- who last faced off at the ICJ 18 years ago when Islamabad sought its intervention over the shooting down of its naval aircraft -- India took the Jadhav case to the world court, accusing Pakistan of violating the Vienna Convention and conducting a farcical trial for convicting Jadhav without a shred of evidence.

After hearing the arguments of the two sides, the court said it will issue its order on Indias request for provisional measures as soon as possible.
