Home Dictionary Name: remitRemit
Remit, means to pardon, to refrain from inflicting to give up. A remission of sentence does not mean acquittal, Ram Deo Chauhan v. State of Assam, AIR 2001 SC 2231. [See Constitution of India, Art. 72 & 161; Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, ss. 432, 433 & 433(A)]The word 'remit' as used in s. 432 is not a term of art. Some of the meanings of the word 'remit' are 'to pardon, to refrain from inflicting to give up'. It is therefore, no obstacle in the way of the President or Governor, as the case may be in remitting the sentence of death. A remission of sentence does not mean acquittal, Ram Deo Chauhan v. State of Assam, AIR 2001 SC 2231 (2251): (2001) 5 SCC 714. (Criminal PC, s. 432)To pardon or forgive, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1297....

County Courts
County Courts. The old County Court was a tribunal inident to the jurisdiction of a sheriff, but was not a Court of Record. Proceedings were removable into a superior court by recordari facias loquelam, or writ of false judgment. Outlawries ofabsconding offenders were here proclaimed.Far more important inferior tribunals have now been established throughout England. They were first established in 1846 by 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, 'the Act for the more easy recovery of Small Debts and Demands in England,' repealed and re-enacted with fourteen amending Acts by the consolidating and amending (English) County Courts Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 43), an Act very materially but very shortly amended by the (English) County Courts Act, 1903 (3 Dew. 7, c. 42), which came into operation on the 1st January, 1905, and raised the common law jurisdiction from 50l. (to which amount it had been raised by an Act of 1850 from the original 20l. under the Act of 1846) to 100l. The number of jurors was also raise...
Remitter
Remitter. Where he who has the right of entry in lands, but is out of possession, obtains afterwards the possession of the lands by some subsequent, and, of course, defective title, he is remitted or sent back, by operation of law, to his ancient and more certain title. The possession which he has gained by a bad title is ipso facto annexed to his own inherent good one; and his defeasible estate is utterly defeated and annulled by the instantaneous act of law, without his participation or consent. As if A. disseise B., i.e., turn him out of possession, and afterwards demise the land to B. (without deed) for a term of years, by which B. Enters, this entry is a remitter to B., who is in of his former and surer estate. But if A. had demised to him for years by deed indented, or by matter of record, there B. would not have been remitted. For if a man by deed indented take a lease of his own lands, it shall bind him to the rents and covenants, because a man never can be allowed to affirm th...
