The 00uncil met in the Council Chamber at Eleven of the Clock, the Honourable the President in the Chair. • • RESOLUTION BE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SUPREME COURT. To HONOURABLE SIR SANKARAN NAIR (Matras: Non-Muham- madan): I beg to move:--':'" .. This Council recommends to the Governor General in Counoil'to take early steps to Ie0111'e that a Suprel¥ Court is established in India with power- (a) to interpret and upho~ the constitution; (b) to act &8 a oourt of final criminal appeal ag&inBt &11 sentenoes of death; (e) to act &8 a revising oourt in specified seriOUlo&llel; (d) to hear civil appe&la now heard by His Majesty's Privy Counoil ; and (g) generally to carry out the work at present entrusted to His Majesty's Privy Council; . pro-vided that luch court shall not affnot Ria Majesty's prerogative safeguarded in the oonstitutionB of CanJMia, Australia and South Atria&." Let me say at once before proceeding further that under this Resolution it is not intended to affect any of the existing powers or privileges of. *e Privy Council, that is to say, that a litigant may appeal tq the Privy Council if he likes, or, if this Supreme Court is -established, he may appeal to the Supreme Court. But once he appeals to the Privy Counoil he cannot go to the Supreme Court, and if he cames his litigation to the Supreme Court he cannot appeal to the Privy Council. He can go either to the one or to the other, but he cannot go to both. That is in order to show that the existing jurisdiction of the Privy Council is in no way intended to be interfered with. Now, Sir, I come to the Resolution itself. Perhaps Honourable Members know that accorrling to our law it is open to a litigant to appeal to the Privy CouJ''lil in a certaincla88 of civil cases ; that is to say, if the subject-matter is above Re. 10,000 and if tllere is a difference of opinion between the first Court-- the subordinate Court or the District Court-and the High Court and the High Court reverses the judgment of the subordinate Court or the District Court, then he is entitled to appeal to the Privy Council. The law recognises the fac~ that judgments where the High Court interferes with the judgment of the lower Court are judgments which may require further consideration, and it is for that further consideration that an appeal is provided for to the Privy Council. It is obvious, then, that when such an appeal is provided for to a higher oourt that should not be an illusory remedy. We must provide facilities for the litigant to appeal to a higher court. But what is the case now 1 In by far the majority of cases· when a litigant is entitled to go to the Privy Council, the man who has 108t his appeal in the High Court, even when he is advised to go ( 8~ ) A COUNCIL or STATE.

    THE TIGER Homes for heroes by the sea . THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 104 – JULY 2020 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to The Tiger. Whilst the first stage of the easing of the “lockdown” still prevent us from re-uniting at Branch Meetings, there is still a certain amount of good news emanating from the “War Front”. In Ypres, from 1st July, members of the public will be permitted to attend the Last Post Ceremony, although numbers will be limited to 152, with social distancing of 1.5 metres observed. 1st July will also see the re-opening of Talbot House in Poperinghe. Readers will be pleased to learn that the recent fund-raising appeal for the House, featured in this very column in the May edition of The Tiger reached its required target and my thanks go to those of you who donated to this worthy cause. Another piece of news has, as yet, received scant publicity but could prove to be the most important of all. In the aftermath of the recent “attack” on the Cenotaph, during which an attempt was made to set alight our national flag, I was delighted to read in the Press that: a Desecration of War Memorials Bill, carrying a ten year prison sentence, would be brought before the Commons as a matter of urgency. The subsequent discovery that ten years was the maximum sentence rather than the minimum tempered my joy somewhat, but the fact that War Memorials are now finally to be legally placed on a higher plane than other statuary is, at least in my opinion, a major step forward in their protection.

It deals with Southeast Asia as a region, and with the individual countries of the area: Brunei, Burma, Indonesia, Kampuchea, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The activities of the Program are carried on both at Cornell and in Southeast Asia. They include an undergraduate and graduate curriculum at Cornell which provides instruction by specialists in Southeast Asian cultural history and present-day affairs and offers intensive training in each of the major languages of the area. The Program sponsors group research projects on Thailand, on Indonesia, on the Philippines, and on linguistic studies of the languages of the area. At the same time, indi­ vidual staff and students of the Program have done field research in every Southeast Asian country. A list of publications relating to Southeast Asia which may be obtained on prepaid order directly from the Program is given at the end of this volume.

Founded as the Soviet Army Studies Office in 1986, it was an innovative program that brought together military specialists and civilian academics to focus on military and security topics derived from unclassified, foreign media. The results were unclassified articles and papers that provided new understandings and broad access to information from a base of expertise in the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, and foreign and U.S. defense communities and universities.

    PAKISTAN FOREIGN POLICY FORMULATION, 1947-65: An analysis of institutional interaction between American policy making bodies and the Pakistan Army. By Syed Hussain Shaheed Soherwordi Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Classics University of Edinburgh Year of submission: 2009 This thesis is dedicated to my Parents- my Papa Syed Maqsood Ali Pirzada and my lovely Ammi (late) Hasnain Khatoon. Both of them always wanted to see me at the zenith of my education. Their aspiration remained a confidence boost for my academic achievements. ii Abstract This thesis examines through the use of archives and oral evidence the role of the Pakistan Army in the context of Pakistan’s domestic politics and foreign policy. Its main purpose is to explore the autonomy of the Pakistan Army in shaping national and foreign policy between the years 1947-1965. Focusing on its independent relationship with three instruments of policy-making in the United States – the Department of State, the White House and the Pentagon – the thesis argues that the relationship between the Army and these policy-making bodies arose from a synergistic commonality of interests. The Americans needed a country on the periphery of the Soviet Union to contain Communism while the Pakistan Army needed US military support to check Indian regional military hegemonism in South Asia. This alliance was secured to the disadvantage of democratic political institutions of Pakistan. The Army, which became stronger as a result of US military and economic support, came progressively to dominate domestic politics. This led not only to weakened civilian governments in the period I am examining, but in 1958 to the military seizure of political control of the country itself.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT The British Indian Army, formed from the old presidency armies of the East India Company in 1895, was one of the pillars upon which Britain’s world empire rested. While much has been written on the colonial and global campaigns fought by the Indian Army as a tool of imperial power, comparatively little has been written about the transition of the army from British to Indian control after the end of the Second World War.

    The Above Group Photo Is of the Staff at the Staff College, Quetta, India in 1913

    The above group photo is of the staff at the Staff College, Quetta, India in 1913. According to Simon Robbins in his book “British Generalship on the Western Front 1914-18” such men and other officers with a Staff College background were the backbone of the BEF in the war years and enabled the war to be fought. The article at Page 7 describes how the photo came to light and outlines how the group produced a Field Marshall, a General, a Lieutenant General and 4 Major Generals! Despatch contains, inter alia, the unique (?) story of a Jerseyman who lies in the Argonne, a contemporaneous “War Horse” story, unpublished war poems, a thought provoking post card and a review of the book that challenges the conventional thinking about Germany’s initial war plan.

Abstract ABSTRACT India’s North-West Frontier was the one area where the British Raj could suffer a knockout blow from either external Russian invasion or internal revolt. Frontier defence was amongst the greatest burdens during India’s inter-War financial austerity. Despite the RAF’s operational and financial efficacy in 1920s Iraq, air control was never implemented on the Frontier and air power’s potential was never fully exploited. Instead, aircraft were employed to enhance the Army’s traditional battlefield capabilities, resulting in efficient tactical co-ordination during the 1930s Waziristan campaign - the RAF’s most operationally-active pre-War theatre. To address why air power was constrained on the Frontier, this Thesis examines the inter-War relationship between the Armies in India and the RAF and its impact on the development and application of RAF doctrine.
