In 15-1 ruling in favour of India at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in Kulbhushan Jadhav case, it was ad-hoc judge, Pakistan’s Tassaduq Hussain Jilani, who was dissenting voice.
Jilani, an ad-hoc judge in the case, was the sole dissenter in each of the seven rulings in favour of India that the ICJ delivered on Wednesday in the Jadhav case. However, Jilani did join the other members in agreeing to entertain the case filed by India. The court ruled in favour of providing consular access to Jadhav and asked Pakistan to continue the stay on his execution. Jadhav, an Indian naval officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April 2017 for alleged espionage. India had approached the ICJ to stay the execution.
In the February 2019 hearing of final arguments from both India and Pakistan in the case at The Hague, Jilani had joined the proceedings only on the fourth day as he had suffered a heart attack.
