Fair trial, means a trial in which bias or prejudice for or against the accused, the witnesses, or the cause which is being tried is eliminated. If the witnesses get threatened or are forced to give false evidence that also would not result in a fair trial. The failure to hear material witnesses is certainly denial of fair trial. The fair trial for a criminal offence consists not only in technical observance of the frame and forms of law, but also in recognition and just application on its principles in substance, to find out the truth and prevent miscarriage of justice, Zahira Habibulla H. Sheikh v. State of Gujarat, (2004) 4 SCC 158 (187).

Fair and equitable
Fair and equitable, The words 'fair' and 'equitable' both mean 'just or unbiased' (see the Concise Oxford Dictionary, 4th Edn., p. 426 and p. 402). The words 'fair and equitable' must be given their due meaning and proper effect. The question then asked is - what meaning is to be given to the words 'such.......... as the lessor shall determine'. It is indeed true that these words constitute an adjectival clause to the expression 'fair and equitable enhancement', but we consider that the meaning of the adjectival clause is merely this: the lessor must first determine what it considers to be fair and equitable enhancement; but if in fact it is not so, it is open to the lessee to ask the Court to determine what is fair and equitable enhancement, Damodhar Tukaram Mangalmurti v. State of Bombay, AIR 1959 SC 639 (642): (1959) Supp 2 SCR 180....
Markets and fairs
Markets and fairs. The right to hold a market or fair, i.e., to hold organized meetings of persons for the purpose of buying and selling, is derived from a royal grant either actual or to be presumed from long usage. Markets and fairs in large towns of modern growth are, however, frequently held under special Acts which incorporate the (English) Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. 14), or under the Public Health Act, 1875. The following Acts regulate markets and fairs:-Metropolitan Fairs Act, 1868; Fairs Acts, 1871 and 1873; Markets and Fairs (Weighing of Cattle) Acts, 1887 and 1891, and 1926.

Market and fair
Market and fair, Market may strictly be defined as 'the meaning or congregating together of people for the purchase and sale of provisions or livestock, publicly exposed, at a fixed time and place'. A 'fair' has been judicially defined as meaning 'a periodical concourse of buyers and sellers in a place generally for sale and purchase......at times or on occasion ordained by custom. The distinction between markets and fair appears to lie in the periodicity viz. while a market may be a regular or permanent place of business, a fair is an intermittent one, ITC Ltd. v. Agricultural Produce Market, (2002) 9 SCC 239: AIR 2002 SC 852 (930). [Bihar Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1960 (16 of 1960), ss. 15 & 27]...

Fair comment on a matter of public interest is a good defence to an action of libel for words prima facie defamatory; but the defence will be of no avail if express malice is established, Thomas v. Bradbury, Agnew & Co., (1906) 2 KB 627. When the defence is one of fair comment the plaintiff is not entitled to particulars, Digby v. Financial News Ltd., (1907) 1 KB 502; but the defendant can administer interrogatories to the plaintiff, Walkr v. Hodgson, (1909) 1 KB 239.
