The Supreme Court dismissed the prosecution's appeal against a conviction for refusing military service. The defendant was initially sentenced for refusal but was subsequently medically exempted from regular peacetime service. The court held that the statutory requirement for refusal applies only to those subject to regular service, rendering the conviction invalid once the exemption was granted.
