APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF EXEMPTION
An "Application for Grant of Exemption" is submitted in court to seek permission from the court to be excused from fulfilling a specific procedural requirement or legal obligation under certain circumstances. It is generally filed by a party (or their lawyer) when compliance with a rule or order is not possible or practical.
Common Reasons for Filing an Application for Exemption:
Exemption from Personal Appearance
If a party (especially the accused in criminal cases or a witness) is unable to attend court due to illness, distance, age, or other valid reasons.
Exemption from Filing Original Documents
If a party wishes to file photocopies instead of original documents due to unavailability or risk of loss/damage.
Exemption from Court Fee
Poor litigants (indigent persons) may seek exemption from paying court fees under Order XXXIII of CPC (civil cases).
Exemption from Delay
If there is a delay in filing a case or document, exemption may be sought under Section 5 of the Limitation Act.
Exemption from Specific Procedural Requirements
Such as skipping a particular step in procedure due to justified reasons.
