The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has fixed April 17 and July
17 as deadlines for India and Pakistan, respectively, for the filing of
the written pleadings in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
A 10-member bench of the ICJ on May 18 last year restrained Pakistan from executing Mr. Jadhav till adjudication of the case.
According to a statement issued by the principal judicial organ of the UN, the ICJ authorised the submission of a reply by India and of a rejoinder by Pakistan in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case.
“The Court fixed 17 April 2018 and 17 July 2018 as the respective time-limits for the filing of these written pleadings,” said the statement
It said the ICJ made its decision taking into account the views of the parties and the circumstances of the case.
Pakistan claims its security forces arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav from its restive Balochistan province on March 3 last year after he reportedly entered from Iran.
India, however, maintains that Kulbhushan Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Indian Navy.
