Self appraisal
Self appraisal, the method of performance appraisal is based on the self-appraisal by the officer concerned. It is a method where the employee is asked to give, in his own words, his strong points, weak points and constraints faced by him in the service.

Finally the higher reviewing authority decides the assessment by weighting both the employee's self-appraisal and the remarks given by the reporting officer, A.P. State Financial Corpn. v. C.M.

Continuing offence
Continuing offence, means type of crime which is committed over a span of time, Gokal Patel Volkart Ltd. v. Dundoyya Guru Shiddaiah Hiremath, (1991) 2 SCC 141 (145). [Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, s. 472 and 468(2)(a)]A continuing offence is one which is susceptible of continuance and is distinguishable from the one which is committed once and for all. It is one of those offences which arises out of a failure to obey or comply with a rule or its requirement and which involves a penalty, the liability for which continues until the rule or its requirement is obeyed or complied with. On every occasion that such disobedience or non-compliance occurs and reoccurs, there is the offence committed. The distinction between the two kinds of offences is between an act or omission which constitutes an offence once and for all and an act or omission which continues, and therefore, constitutes a fresh offence every time or occasion on which it continues, State of Bihar v. Deokaran Nenshi, (1972) 2 ...

Expiring laws continuance Acts
Expiring laws continuance Acts. Acts so called and continuing, generally until the end of the year following that in which they are passed, temporary Acts which would otherwise expire have for many years been passed at the end of each session of Parliament. The practice of passing temporary acts and continuing them by annual continuance Acts is a very old one, which has frequently caused complaint in the House of Commons (see Solicitors' Journal, April 18th, 1903). The (English) Ballot Act, 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 33), was, for example, kept in force by annual inclusion in successive Expiring Laws Continuance Acts until 1908, when it was made permanent. The (English) Expiring Laws Act, 1922, made nineteen Acts permanent, thus effecting a simplification long overdue, and the (English) Expiring Laws Acts of 1925 and 1932 made permanent several other statutes....
