World Court Sets February 2019 For Hearing Kulbhushan Jadhav Case: Report

Pakistan claim that its security forces arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav from its Balochistan in March 2016.

Islamabad:

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hear for a week in February the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on spying charges, according to a media report today.

Kulbhushan Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death by the military court in April last year.

Pakistan claim that its security forces arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav from its Balochistan province in March 2016, after he reportedly entered from Iran. India denies all charges. India moved the ICJ in May last year against the verdict. 

The ICJ halted Kulbhushan Jadhav's execution on India's appeal pending the final verdict by it.

Geo TV citing sources said the world court will hear the case daily for a week in February next year.

In its submission, Pakistan had stated that Kulbhushan Jadhav is not an ordinary person as he had entered the country with the intent of spying and carrying out sabotage activities.
