Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision that the trial of the appellant by the General Court Martial was not barred by limitation under Section 122 of the Army Act, 1950. The Court found that the order to convene the General Court Martial was issued within the three-year limitation period from when the competent authority became aware of the offences. Consequently, the Court affirmed the Tribunal's ruling, allowing the trial to proceed.
