Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its position on the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, saying he entered Pakistan illegally under an assumed identity and remains responsible for espionage and sabotage allegations. The statement came as the long-running dispute over his legal remedies and detention continued without a final resolution.

Pakistan’s government told its Supreme Court that Kulbhushan Jadhav’s right to appeal was not granted because of the 2019 International Court of Justice ruling, arguing the judgment only required consular access. India rejected that reading and maintained that Pakistan still has not complied fully with the ICJ decision.
