There's a comprehensive new volume titled Supreme Court on Military Law: Leading Judgments That Shape the Rights, Duties and Honour of the Armed Forces. The treatise has been co-authored by two veterans of the Judge Advocate General’s Department (Indian Army): Col Manmohan Jaswal (Retd), former Deputy Judge-Advocate General (Army), and Col Manmohan Sood (Retd), former Deputy Judge-Advocate General (Army) and former Registrar of the Armed Forces Tribunal (Chandigarh Bench).
"Following more than six months of rigorous compilation, the authors have systematically mapped landmark judgments of the Supreme Court of India directly to the relevant statutory provisions of the Army Act, 1950, and the Army Rules. The work meticulously covers disciplinary proceedings, court-martial procedures, constitutional guarantees, command responsibility, service disputes, and pensionary jurisprudence.
While rooted in Indian military jurisprudence, the volume serves as an invaluable reference tool for comparative military law practitioners, scholars, and judicial officers worldwide. In particular, it illustrates how the Apex Court of the world’s largest democracy harmonizes operational discipline and command authority with constitutional guarantees of due process and fairness—a balance that resonates across common-law jurisdictions and armed forces globally."
The book is available from Shandilya Publications in New Delhi.
Hearty congratulations to the authors!
