Hague (Netherlands): The International Court of Justice (ICJ) began hearing in case of Kulbhushan Jadhav, the alleged Indian spy sentenced to death by a Pakistani Military Court, this afternoon. Legal team led by former Solicitor General Harish Salve is representing the Indian Government.
India team, which is arguing first, is expected to focus on the violations of the Vienna convention by Pakistan on the issue of denying consular access to Jadhav and on the lack of transparency in the Pakistani Military Court, which India said was ‘illegal.’ This will be followed by arguments from the Pakistan team led by Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf.
