Top Points From India's Argument Against Pakistan At ICJ Against Kulbhushan Jadhav's Execution

A legal team led by former Solicitor General Harish Salve argued the case for India.

India has called for immediate suspension of Kulbhushan Jadhav's sentence and accused Pakistan of violating Vienna Convention of consular access. At the International Court of Justice (ICJ ) at The Hague , where the case is currently being heard, India also said that it fears Jadhav will be executed before its arguments are heard in the case.

A legal team led by former Solicitor General Harish Salve argued the case for India. Salve has concluded his argument and the court will hear Pakistan's observations at 3PM (6:30PM IST)

These are the top points from India’s argument 

  • India fears that Kulbhushan Jadhav could be executed by Pakistan before its arguments are heard.
  • Pakistan repeatedly denied consular access to India & no document of Jadhav's trial process was given by Islamabad 
  • Human rights which are treated as "basics" have been thrown to the wind by Pakistan
  • All requests for consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav fell on deaf ears
  • The present situation is grave and that is why India has sought the indulgence of ICJ
  • KulbhushanJadhav was framed on confessional statements extracted from him when he was in Pakistan's military custody.
  • We want appropriate legal representation for Kulbhushan Jadhav.
