Suo moto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suo Moto, meaning "on its own motion," is an Indian legal term, approximately equivalent to the English term Sua Sponte. It is used, for example, where a government agency acts on its own cognisance, as in "the Commission took Suo Moto control over the matter." Example; "there is no requirement that a court suo moto instruct a jury upon these defenses." State v. Pierson.
