Kulbhushan Jadhav Verdict: Soon after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday evening ruled that Pakistan must make an 'effective review and reconsideration' of the conviction and death sentence of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav and grant him consular access, it was nothing less than a moment of rejoice among the people across the country. ICJ's verdict comes as a massive setback for Pakistan and big victory for India in the high-profile case filed on May 8 for the 'egregious violation' of the provisions of the Vienna Convention by Pakistan by repeatedly denying New Delhi consular access to Jadhav.

Jadhav, 49, a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by the Pakistani military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism" after a closed trial in April 2017. His sentencing evoked a sharp reaction in India. A 16-member bench led by President of the Court Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf by 15-1 votes ordered an "effective review and reconsideration of the conviction and sentence of the Indian national.

The bench ruled by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan "deprived the Republic of India of the right to communicate with and have access to Mr Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav, to visit him in detention and to arrange for his legal representation." Soon after the judgement was pronounced by the World Court, social media was taken by storm and thousands of people not just in India but abroad hailed the decision and prayed for Jadhav's safety and earliest return.
