Here is what India submitted in the case at ICJ:


1/ India calls for immediate suspension of Kulbhushan Jadhav's sentence and accuses Pakistan of violating Vienna Convention of consular access.


2/ Graver the charges, greater the need for continued adherence of Vienna Convention.


3/ The present situation is grave and that is why India has sought the indulgence of ICJ.ICJ.


4/ Kulbhushan Jadhav has neither consular access nor legal representation "even at this stage". All requests for consular access fell on "deaf ears".
