• This maxim has evolved in the field of diplomatic relations and such a declaration
means that the foreign diplomat is unwelcome in that country ,he is not permitted
to enter or continue to stay in a particular country.Just as the principle of diplomatic
immunity provides protection to the state sending the diplomat,this principle of
persona non grata safeguards the interests of the receiving state. Such a statement
could be given either before the diplomat even arrives at the receiving State,or after
he has started carrying out his functions.Therefore, not every statement results in
the diplomat’s explusion,but if it does, it has to be in conformity with article 41 of
the Vienna convention,1961.
Does Persona Non grata mean ban?
• For the second time in less than a year, Venezuela has declared the country’s
foreign ambassador persona non grata. In literal terms,the term is latin for an
undesirable person . The term in the diplomatic sense refers to a foreign
person whose entry or stay in a particular country is prohibited by that
country.
POST FACTUM :
USED AS EX POST FACTO.
• Meaning: After the fact, after the focus of an activity has already occurred.
• What is post factum inquiry ?
Ex post facto study or after the fact research is a category of research design
in which the investigation starts after the fact has occurred without interference
from the researcher.
What is an ex post facto law:
• Ex post facto is a Latin word which means after the fact or out of the
aftermath and also known as retroactive laws.
• Ex post facto laws are those laws which are enacted after an action is
committed making such an act illegal although it was legal when committed .
In the literal sense, it’s a law which criminalizes such conduct which was
once legal. For example if A committed theft on 17 th Nov which was not an
offence on that particular date. On 20 th Nov. Legislature enacted a law under
which theft was an offence. Then whatever punishment was laid down by
legislature‘A’ was held liable as per Ex post facto laws, therefore A had to
bear the same punishment as per new laws even without knowing the
consequences of his act when he was committing it.countries like England
don’t prohibited this law whereas USA, India etc prohibited this law.
Essential of ex post facto laws:
• There shall be a commission of offence and such offence was not legally
recognised.
• The first part of Articles 20(1) in literal sense, means the violation of any such law
for which a person is convicted must be in existence when the act is committed. It
follows therefore that a person cannot be convicted for an act, which was not an
offence under the law in force when that act was committed(6).
• Generally in Ex post facto laws, there is a retrospective effect,but as per indian
constitution,there is prohibition regarding retrospective operation i.e. No
punishment under retrospective operation.
• In 1946 the accused committed an offence which was recognised under the act and
punishable with fine, imprisonment or both. Later in 1949 that act amended and enhanced
the punishment by an additional fine equivalent to the amount of money procured by the
accused through the offence . The court decided that additional punishment which was
enhanced later couldn’t be applicable to the act committed in 1947 by accused . Therefore
set aside additional fines imposed by the amendment act(8). Fundamental rights hold
prospective effect and if used retrospectively, it will affect the functioning of the pre
existing laws(9). Article 13 gives the power of judii review to court’s and allows them to
declare a law invalid only to the extent of unconstitutionality (10)

Meaning : De jure is a Latin phrase which means "by law," or "by right" and it's been used since
the 1600s to mean "legitimate or legal," especially by those in the legal profession.
Definition : In law and government, de jure describes practices that are legally recognized,
regardless of whether the practice exists in reality. In contemporary, use the phrase almost always
means " as a matter of law". In contrast, de facto describes situations that exist in reality, even if
not legally recognized.
Example of de jure:
The Latin phrase “de jure” literally means “according to the law.” The Jim Crow Laws of the U.S.
southern states from the late 1800s into the 1960s and the South African apartheid laws that
separated Black people from White people from 1948 to 1990 are examples of de jure
segregation.
2. Plaint :
Meaning : An official legal complaint against someone that is used in a court of law.
The Particulars Of A Plaint Can Be Divided Into Three Important Parts Such As Heading And Title,
