In the appeal, it was held that Section 2(1) d and Section 59(4) of the Army Act were challenged by the petitioners. The main contention in the case is that the judgment of the Supreme Court did not consider the facts and the forum available under Article 199.
According to the petition, the definition of civilian includes all citizens, whether they are terrorists or enemies. The Supreme Court’s striking down of 2(1)d and 59(4) ended the law regarding non-uniform citizens. The federal government was made a party in all the petitions.
