Exemption, Permission - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition exemption-permission

Definition :

Exemption, permission, Foreign Exchange Regula-tion Act, uses diverse words like, 'authorise', 'exempt' and 'permission' in different parts. The word 'exempt' shows that a person is put beyond the application of law, while 'permission' shows that he is granted leave to act in a particular way. But the word 'permission' is a word of wide import. 'Permission' in this s. means only leave to do some act which but for the leave would be illegal. In this sense, exemption is just one way of giving leave, Dharrajamal Gobindram v. Sharmji Kalidas, AIR 1961 SC 1285 (1290). [Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, (7 of 1947), ss. 21, 5]
