The much awaited verdict on the Kulbhushan Jadhav is finally out. On bid by India, the Kulbhushan case was present in the International court of Justice on Thursday. Panel of 11 judges were present for the hearing.
Late afternoon, ICJ put the stay on hang on Kulbhushan and cleared all the charges put against him by the Pakistan. New Delhi said that Pakistan has violated the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations by denying Mr Jadhav, 47, access to legal and other assistance from India, and that Pakistan should be ordered to stop his execution. Arguing that the top UN court doesn't have jurisdiction in the matter, Pakistan responded to India's appeal by telling the UN court that it should decline jurisdiction in the case. Pakistan has claimed that Mr Jadhav was arrested in March 2016 in the restive province of Balochistan. India says he was kidnapped from Iran. There has been a long-running conflict in Balochistan between Pakistani security forces and a militant separatist movement.
