The first battle won at the International Court of Justice - the stalling of the execution of Kulbhushan Jadhav - former Solicitor General Harish Salve said India has two plans to get justice for the 46-year-old former Naval officer. The first involves a request for outright release amid what he called an "evolving jurisprudence". The other -- a longer route that goes through Pakistani courts.
"The international court is not a court of appeal where we show his innocence," Mr Salve told NDTV. "It is a court where we say the procedure which Pakistan had adopted to arrive at this death sentence violates the principles of Vienna Convention which is a multilateral treaty."
One of the leading legal brains in the country, Mr Salve had not only led the battery of lawyers to structure India's case, but also made a nearly one-and-a-half-hour presentation at the International court in The Hague earlier this week. Today, the court agreed to the contentions and asked Pakistan to hold off the execution of Mr Jadhav till it reached its final verdict.
