Marking a major victory in India’s quest for justice for former Navy official Kulbhushan Jadhav, jailed in Pakistan since March 2016 on charges of spying, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday suspended his death sentence and granted consular access to him.
The world court, in its verdict which was 15 to one in favour of India, said the death sentence awarded to Jadhav will remain on hold until Islamabad ``effectively reviews and reconsiders’’ the conviction by a Pakistani military court.
