Pakistan to make final submission in Jadhav case at ICJ today
HAGUE (92 News) – At the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Pakistan will make its final submission in Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav case on Thursday.
The court is expected to announce its judgement by the summer this year.
Pakistan points to evidence obtained from Commander Jadhav after his arrest, and during the criminal process leading to his conviction as amply demonstrating his activities in fomenting terrorism and engaging in espionage within Pakistan.
Pakistan also maintains that it would be incompatible with international law for someone sent as a spy/terrorist by a State to be afforded access to officials of that State, as India asserts.
Kulbhushan made fake passport in name of Hussain, admits Indian counsel
Earlier, India completed its arguments in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In its arguments, the Indian counsel relied on mere accusations. No reply was given in response to the fake passport of the Indian spy Kulbhushan Jhadav.
Harish Salve, the Indian counsel who was perplexed by forceful arguments of Pakistan counsel Khawar Qureshi, admitted that a fake passport of Kulbhushan was made under the name of Mubarik Patel, saying that he cannot be given death sentence over it.
He also backtracked from the statement about the transfer of his pension dues in the bank account. He demanded a relief from court, seeking the consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav. He appealed to court to send the matter to a civil court.
On the other hand, the International Court of Justice, announcing the verdict on the India request to replace Adhoc Judge Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, declared him the part of the bench.
According to court, Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani participated in the proceedings of the court and transcripts are being sent to him. The court ruled that the video link is also available to him.
