New Delhi: India today filed a fresh set of pleadings in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) related to the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April last year on charges of espionage and terrorism.
The second round of written reply by India in the case was in response to the submissions by Pakistan in the ICJ on December 13 last year, the foreign ministry said.
India had moved The Hague-based ICJ in May last after Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism. A 10-member bench of the ICJ on May 18 had restrained Pakistan from executing Kulbhushan Jadhav till adjudication of the case.
It said India remains committed to make all possible efforts to "secure and protect" the rights of Kulbhushan Jadhav.
"Today, India filed its Reply to Pakistan's submissions to the court. Pakistan has been given time till July 17 by the court to file its response (Rejoinder)," the foreign ministry said.
Pakistan claims that its security forces arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav from restive Balochistan province on March 3, 2016 after he reportedly entered from Iran.
India had approached the ICJ for "egregious" violation of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, by Pakistan in Kulbhushan Jadhav's case.
