Pakistan must audit capital punishment of Kulbhushan Jadhav, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) managed on Wednesday in a major win for India. Kulbhushan Jadhav's capital punishment "ought to stay suspended until Pakistan successfully audits and rethinks the conviction and sentence," said the UN court, concurring with India's stand that Pakistan had abused the Vienna show by denying consular access to Jadhav after his conviction in a "ridiculous" shut preliminary. "Truth and equity have won.

Here are the main 10 improvements in this real issue:

1. The UN court said "a proceeded with remain of execution establishes a fundamental condition for the successful survey and reexamination of the conviction and sentence of Jadhav." The President of the Court Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf read out the decision in The Hague.

2. The world court said Pakistan had not educated Jadhav about his rights. "Pakistan denied India of the privilege to speak with and approach Mr. Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav, to visit him in confinement and to mastermind his legitimate portrayal," the UN court noted. There was a three-week delay in illuminating India about Jadhav's capture, said the judge.

3. The decision was 15 to one for India; the solitary dissident was the judge from Pakistan. Indeed, even the judge from China bolstered India, which can be a critical political weight point for Islamabad.

4. PM Modi, respecting the decision, tweeted: "Truth and justice have prevailed. Congratulations to the ICJ for a verdict based on extensive study of facts. I am sure Kulbhushan Jadhav will get justice. Our Government will always work for the safety and welfare of every Indian."

5. "We note that the Court has coordinated that Pakistan is under a commitment to illuminate Jadhav immediately of his rights and to give Indian consular officials access to him...We anticipate that Pakistan should actualize the mandate promptly," said remote service representative Raveesh Kumar.

6. Harish Salve, who was India's supporter at the ICJ, said if the preliminary by Pakistan isn't reasonable, India can generally return to the world court. "On the off chance that the ICJ decision is ignored, we can take measures including by sanctions. I'm certain Pakistan won't go that way. At any rate, I trust so... On the off chance that the preliminary by Pakistan isn't reasonable, we can return to ICJ."

7. The court would not cancel Jadhav's capital punishment or request his discharge and safe entry to India.

8.49-year-old Jadhav was captured by Pakistan in March 2016 and blamed for reconnaissance, a charge India has rubbished. After a year, he was condemned to death by a Pakistani military court. Denying India's solicitation for access to Jadhav, Pakistan over and over said New Delhi just needed the data assembled by "its covert agent". A month after the previous official's capital punishment, India took Pakistan to the world court, and the execution remained in May 2017.

9. Pakistan cases its security powers had captured Mr. Jadhav from the Balochistan area on March 3, 2016, after he entered the nation from Iran. India stated that he was grabbed from Iran, where he had business interests in the wake of resigning from the Navy.

10. The worldwide court has no way to authorize its decisions, which are conclusive and without advance.
