THE HAGUE: International Court of Justice (ICJ) has resumed hearing into the case of Indian Spy Kulbhushan Jadhav on Monday, reported ARY News.
India is presenting its case in defence of Kulbhushan Jadhav today, while Pakistan will make its closing submissions on Tuesday and it is expected that the ICJ decision will be delivered by the summer this year.
Expressing his views regarding hearing of the case, Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Faisal said Pakistani legal team was fully prepared to proceed the case.
“The attorney general is leading the team, Inshallah Pakistan will get success,” Dr Faisal continued.
Islamabad has presented the evidence collected from Commander Jadhav after his arrest, and during the criminal process leading to his conviction as amply demonstrating his activities in fomenting terrorism in the country.

Pakistan 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.
The ICJ has repeatedly stated that it is not a Criminal Court of Appeal and effective review of a conviction is available before the domestic Courts.
On the other hand, a British institute has declared passport of Kulbhushan Jadhav as ‘original’, which was issued by the Indian authorities under the name of Mubarik Patel to hide his original identity.
Pakistani security agencies on March 24, 2016 apprehended an ‘on-duty Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agent’ from Balochistan. The suspect was said to be an officer of the Indian navy working for the covert agency to destabilize Pakistan.
