The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday ruled in India's favour in its appeal to remove a former Indian Navy officer on death row in Pakistan, TV news channels reported.

TV reports said the world court ruled that Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav's death sentence should remain suspended until Pakistan effectively reviews and reconsiders the decision, and granted consular access to India.

Pakistan has said Jadhav, 49, was arrested in its restive southwestern province of Balochistan in March 2016 on charges of espionage. He was then sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in 2017, sparking outrage in India.
