Discharge of offender on submission of apology
AI Assist
Summary
When a court has punished or sent someone for trial for refusing or omitting to do a lawful duty, or for an intentional insult or interruption, it may in its discretion discharge the offender or remit the punishment. That can be done if the person submits to the court's order or makes an apology that satisfies the court.
Example
Rohan is fined after refusing to clear an encroaching shop counter as ordered by the court. He then apologises in court and immediately complies with the order. The court may discharge him or remit the fine because he submitted to the court's order and apologised.
