The international court has ordered Pakistan's legal team to appear on June 8 as well
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – International Court of Justice (ICJ) has instructed Indian government on Friday to file details in convicted spy Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case on June 8.
The international court has ordered Pakistan’s legal team to appear on June 8 as well in bid to make the proceedings free and fair.
However, the court is not going to conduct a hearing of the case on June 8. Reportedly, Pakistan will be filing details in the case few weeks after submission by Indian legal team.
Earlier, the ICJ released the verdict in the case on May 18 and held his death sentence until the final verdict.

The International Court of Justice ruled that, "Pakistan shall take all measures at its disposal to ensure that Mr Jadhav is not executed pending the final decision in these proceedings."
ICJ admitted that Pakistan has proven that Jadhav is an Indian citizen, and he did not appeal against the decision that was made against him during the 40-day period. India can only be given relief after providing sufficient evidences as Article 36 of Vienna Convention does not apply on this case, remarked President Ronny Abraham.
Jadhav, a former Indian naval officer, has been sentenced to death after being convicted of espionage by a Pakistani military court.
India approached ICJ seeking provisional stay to Jadhav s execution and the court held a hearing on May 15. The verdict was reserved by the court and was announced on May 18.
