Around 10 courts martial were held conducted and the first trial became the most renowned one, which was the joint court-martial of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan, Colonel Prem Kumar Sahgal and Colonel Gurubaksh Singh Dhillon. The 3 officers initially served in the British Indian Army, but after becoming prisoners of war in Singapore or Malaya, the joined the Indian National Army (INA), under the leadership of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
