☐The case involves an Army Jawan sentenced by a Summary Court-Martial to three
months' rigorous imprisonment and dismissal from service for carrying 12 bottles of
liquor without proper permits while
...on leave. Despite appeals citing procedural flaws
and a clean service record, higher authorities upheld the sentence. On appeal to the
Supreme Court, it was ruled that while the trial was valid, the severity of the
punishment was disproportionate. The Court remanded the case to reconsider a lesser
punishment, emphasizing adherence to the Army Act's provisions and principles of
proportionality in military sentencing.
