Section 91
Previous Penalty And Character As An Evidence
(1) In the course of making a decision regarding a person charged with an offence as referred to
in Chapter-6, the Court Martial may collect information on whether such person was previously convicted or not, or whether he/she was subjected to any departmental action or not, and may admit it in the decision as an
evidence. For this purpose the Court Martial may take into note of his/her character and previous activities.
(2) A copy may be made of the oral statement recorded pursuant to Sub-section (1) or the information contained in a regimental book or any governmental book, and it shall not be necessary to give prior notice to the
accused that the previous conviction or character of accused or his/her previous activities shall be admitted as an evidence.
(3) The Summary Court Martial, if deems reasonable, may keep records of information, without attestation, of the decision if any decision has been made in regards to such person, his character or previous
activities.
