Title Supreme Court: Miquiabas vs. Commanding General, Philippine-Ryukyus Command, U.S. Army

Case: G.R. No. L-1988

Decision Date: Feb 24, 1948

A civilian employee of the U.S. Army in the Philippines, charged with theft, was tried by a General Court-Martial. The Supreme Court ruled the trial lacked jurisdiction, as the offense occurred outside a U.S. base and the petitioner was not a military member, nullifying the sentence and ordering his release.
