Sri Alevuru Premraj Kini v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
The Supreme Court of India held that the accused cannot be treated as a traitor only for the duration of the war against India based on an analogy to the English law in the trial of Muhammad Binul Hasan since India is not governed by English law by default and there is nothing in the Articles of War, 1942 to support such a conclusion.
