Discharge of offender on submission of apology
AI Assist
Summary
If a court has punished or sent someone to a magistrate for refusing or failing to do something lawfully required, or for insulting or interrupting court proceedings, it may in its discretion discharge the person or remit the punishment if the person submits to the court's order or makes an apology acceptable to the court.
Example
Priya, a shopkeeper, ignored a court order to remove a stall blocking a public walkway. The court adjudged punishment for her refusal; when Priya apologised and promised to comply, the court accepted the apology and discharged her, remitting the punishment.
