Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested by Pakistan’s counter-terrorism officials for allegedly working as a spy for the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW).

He is said to be a former Indian Navy officer and had taken premature retirement. After a military court awarded death sentence to him on the charges of espionage, India moved the International Court of Justice, which stayed the death penalty.

The case is listed for a hearing in the ICJ on Monday (May 15) where both India and Pakistan are expected to vehemently defend their respective positions on the issue. India has maintained that Jadhav was “kidnapped from Iran”, and his trial was ‘farcical” in the absence of any evidence against him. Pakistan has denied consular access to Jadhav even as India requested for the same 16 times.

India is said to have made the denial of right to consular access as the main point while approaching the ICJ.
