Rajesh (Student)     23 December 2013

hello sir,

good to see such a nice list of the abbreviations, as rightly said by somebody that you generally don't find such details in general books.

i am final year law student and while going through some judgements, i found a common term PE, (matter  put for PE)

so could you please state me what this PE means in judgement.

regards,

rajesh

Arvind Singh Chauhan (advocate)     23 December 2013

It means Prosecution Evidence.

Rajesh (Student)     23 December 2013

thanks a lot for your prompt response.

apart from this is there any handy reference available which states most of the abbreviatons used in the judgement of the indian courts, as sometimes it is really irritating to understand some judgement in full without having complete knowledge of the same.

thanks in advance for your support and understanding.

rajesh
