When Courts Martial happen in the India Army, Navy or Air Force

When Security Force Courts / parallel court proceedings happen in BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and other Paramilitary Forces

Very often it happens that in such trials, the Presiding Officer or the Judge Advocate refuses to accept a document or an application submitted to them on behalf of the accused. Sometimes the objective of the defence might not be to actually obtain immediate relief on the basis of the facts in the application, but to just bring certain facts on record, with a view that these facts may either weigh in on the court at the time when the court is arriving at a finding of guilty or not guilty, or that these facts might be used in the appellate forums like the AFT, High Courts and Supreme Court against a finding of Guilty by the court martial.

What can the accused do in such situations? You can't argue or fight with the court martial authorities beyond a point. Compared to a criminal court, the advantage with a court martial is that the defence can simply send their application by way of Speed Post and retain the receipt. Copies of the same can be marked to all concerned, including the Convening Authority. The receipt can later on be used as evidence in appellate courts about the fact that these points were brought to the notice of the concerned authorities.

Courts Martial in Armed Forces and other informed forces are not easy to defend.

Solitary confinement. Iron fetters. No trial needed. One letter changed that.

Sunil Batra, on death row in Tihar, was thrown into solitary confinement even though his case wasn't final. Later, he wrote a judge a letter about a fellow prisoner brutalised by a warder. The Court treated the letter itself as a petition.
