Explanation:

After the End of the Second World War, the British authorities decided to try Col. Shah Nawaz, Captain Sehgal and Dhillion and other members of the Indian National Army for the crime of waging war against the King-Emperor before a Court-Martial.

● The trail started on 5 November 1945 in the Red Fort of Delhi and lasted up to 31 December. The decision was announced on 3 January 1946, and Shah Nawaz, Sehgal and Dhillon were found guilty and sentenced to transportation for life.

● There were mass Demonstrations throughout the country for their release. On certain occasions, Police resorted to firing and many Indians lost their lives.

● The result was that Field Marshal Auchin-leck, Commander-in-Chief of India, granted clemency to Shah Nawaz, Sehgal and Dhillon.

● On 6 February 1946, the Government of India announced its decision not to proceed any further with the trials and  Consequently, cases against the rest of the I.N.A men were withdrawn.
