( 1 ) IN the appellate judgment dated 15/10/1987 of this court, the contention of the appellant therein noticed and dealt with as contention a (i) proceeds on the premise that S. 130 of the indian Army Act, 1950 (Act) stood attracted to the proceedings of the court-martial which culminated in the imposition of the penalty on the appellant. There is, however, an obvious error in this assumption as to the nature of the proceedings of the court-martial in this case. Section 130 of the act would be attracted, inter alia, if the court-martial was a Summary General court-Martial.

( 2 ) IT is pointed out in this review petition by the Union of India, and in OUT opinion quite rightly, that the court-martial in question was not a "summary General court Martial" to which S. 130 would be so attracted, but was only a "summary court Martial" to which by virtue of S. 116 (1 of the Act, the applicability of section 130 is clearly excluded. This position requires to be clarified and the judgment dated 15/10/1987 corrected accordingly. The need for this correction was also indicated in our order dated 20/01/1988. However, the principles enunciated would apply to a "summary general court Martial". B
