Fair trial
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).

Fairs
Fairs [fr. foire, Fr.; forum nundin', Lat.]. these institutions are very closely allied to markets. A fair is a greater species of market, recurring at more distant intervals. No fair can be held without a grant from the Crown, or a prescription which supposes such grant. Before a patent is granted it is usual to have a writ of ad quod damnum executed and returned, that it may not be issued to the prejudice of another fair or market already existing. The grant usually contains a clause that it shall not be to the hurt of another fair or market; but this clause, if omitted, would be implied; for if the franchise occasion damage, either to the Crown or a subject, in any respect, it will be revoked; and a person whose ancient title is prejudiced is entitled to have a scire facias in the King's name to repeal the letters-patent. If His Majesty grant power to hold a fair or market in a particular place, the lieges can resort to no other, even though it be inconvenient. But if no place be ap...
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. See Newcastle (Duke of) v. Workshop U.D.C., (1902) 2 Ch 145; and consult Pease and Chitty on Markets and Fairs. See FAIRS AND MANOR....
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....
