Although Japanese intentions and policies with regards to India were far from concrete at the start of the war, Japan had sent intelligence missions, notably under Major I Fujiwara, into South Asia even before the start of the World War II to garner support from the Malayan Sultans, the Burmese resistance and the Indian movement. Japan, as well as South East Asia, was a major refuge for Indian nationalists living in exile before the start of World War II who formed strong proponents of militant nationalism and also influenced Japanese policy significantly. Main articles: First Indian National Army and Indian National Army Outcry over the grounds of the trial, as well as a general emerging unease and unrest within the troops of the Raj, ultimately forced the then- Army Chief Field Marshal Claude Auchinleck to commute the sentences of the three defendants in the first trial. These trials attracted much publicity, and public sympathy for the defendants, particularly as India was in the final stages of the Indian independence movement.

Historian Mithi Mukherjee has called the event of the trial 'a key moment in the elaboration of an anticolonial critique of international law in India.' As it was an army trial, Lt. The trials covered arguments based on military law, constitutional law, international law, and politics. Those charged later only faced trial for torture and murder or abetment of murder. These three came to be the only defendants in the trials who were charged with 'waging war against the King-Emperor' (the Indian Army Act, 1911 did not provide for a separate charge for treason) as well as murder and abetment of murder. They had, like a large number of other troops and officers of the British Indian Army, joined the Indian National Army and later fought in Burma alongside the Japanese military under the Azad Hind. The three had been officers in the British Indian Army and were taken prisoner in Malaya, Singapore and Burma. The first of these was the joint court-martial of Colonel Prem Sahgal, Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, and Major-General Shah Nawaz Khan.

In total, approximately ten court-martials were held. The Indian National Army trials (also known as the INA trials and the Red Fort trials) was the British Indian trial by court-martial of a number of officers of the Indian National Army (INA) between November 1945 and May 1946, on various charges of treason, torture, murder and abetment to murder, during the Second World War.
