Pakistan legal team has now reached the Hague in the Netherlands on Tuesday, just before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is about to announce its verdict on Kulbushan Jadhav Case. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver its verdict in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case at The Hague, on Wednesday, at 3 PM local time (6:30 pm IST). The former Naval officer Kulbushan Jadhav was sentenced to death by the Pakistani military court on the charges of surveillance and terrorism on April 11, 2017. However, India approached the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Pakistan for the "violations of the Vienna Convention on Consular relations, 1963" into the matter. India pleaded that they had not been informed of Kulbhushan Jadhav's detention until a long time after his arrest. Likewise, India contended that Pakistan failed to inform the accused of his rights. Also, India alleged that in violation of the Vienna Convention, the authorities of Pakistan denied India's repeated requests, its right of consular access to Jadhav.
