NEW DELHI: The
International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hold public hearings in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case from February 18 to February 21 2019 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the court.
"The hearings will be streamed live and on demand (VOD) in English and French on the Court's website as well as on UN Web TV, the United Nations online television channel," said the press release issued by the ICJ.
Pakistan says its security forces arrested Jadhav from Balochistan province in March 2016 after he reportedly entered the country from Iran.
In its submission to the ICJ, Pakistan had stated that Jadhav is not an ordinary person as he had entered the country with the intent of spying and carrying out sabotage activities.
India denies all the charges and maintains that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy and that he has no links with the government.
A 10-member bench of the ICJ had on May 18 restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav till adjudication of the case.
