After a long legal battle of two years, The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in favour of India with a verdict of 14 -1, in the former Indian Navy Officer Kulbhushan Jadav’s case.
ICJ directed Pakistan to suspend his death sentence, after accusing him as a spy and to grant consular access to him.
