Shashi Rajbanshi vs Emperor on 1 December, 1914
In the case of Kullan v. Emperor (1908) I. L. R. 32 Mad. 173, the learned Judges remarked "we think that where a pardon has been tendered and the approver is afterwards put on trial he should be asked If he relies on it, and if he says ' yes,' which is a plea of pardon, the issue as to the pardon should be tried first."
