Justified by law
Justified by law, 'justified' according to Black's Legal Dictionary means: Done on adequate reasons sufficiently supported by credible evidence, when weighed by unprejudiced mind, guided by common sense and by correct rules of law. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary assigns this meaning for 'justification': The showing in court that one had sufficient reason for doing that which he is called to answer; the ground for such a plea.

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. The self-appraisal is then considered by the reporting officer who gives his remarks. 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.
