📜 Power of Pardon: Mercy with Constitutional Limits ⚖️🇮🇳
Justice is not only about punishment—it's also about compassion, reform, and giving deserving individuals a second chance.
Under the Constitution of India: 🔹 Article 72 empowers the President of India 🔹 Article 161 empowers the Governor of a State
These constitutional powers allow the grant of Pardon, Reprieve, Respite, Remission, Suspension, or Commutation of sentences in appropriate cases.
A pardon is not an act of weakness—it is a constitutional safeguard that balances justice with humanity.
💬 "The greatest strength of justice is its ability to show mercy when the law permits."
👉 Save this post for your judiciary and law exam preparation, and share it with every law student who should know this important constitutional power.

📌 What is Set-Off?
Set-off is a legal defence that allows a defendant to adjust or reduce the plaintiff's monetary claim by asserting a legally recoverable amount due from the plaintiff.
💡 Simple Example:
A sues B for ₹10,000.
B is also entitled to recover ₹6,000 from A.
Instead of filing a separate suit, B can claim Set-Off under Order VIII Rule 6 CPC.
👉 The Court may pass a decree for only ₹4,000 in favour of A (subject to satisfaction of legal requirements).
🎯 Key Takeaway:
Set-off prevents multiple proceedings, saves judicial time, and ensures fair adjustment of mutual monetary claims.
📚 Follow for easy-to-understand legal concepts, CPC, landmark judgments, and judiciary preparation.

⚖️ RES GESTAE – Section 4, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (Earlier Section 6, Indian Evidence Act, 1872)
Not every relevant fact is directly in issue. Some facts become admissible because they are so closely connected with the main event that they form part of the same transaction.
📌 Case Example: Ratan v. Queen (1971)
A wife's phone call to the police immediately before her death was held admissible as evidence because it formed part of the same transaction. This is a classic application of the doctrine of Res Gestae.
💡 Remember:
Statements or acts made during, immediately before, or immediately after the occurrence may be admissible if they are inseparably connected with the main incident.
