Understanding 'Appearance': Formal Act of Submitting to Court's Jurisdiction as Plaintiff or Defendant in Legal Terms.
Appearance, in legal terms, refers to the act of coming into court as a party to a suit, either as a plaintiff or a defendant. It involves a formal proceeding where a defendant voluntarily submits to the court's jurisdiction. The term also encompasses the broader concept of becoming visible or clear to the mind, being known as a subject of observation, or being obvious or manifest. This definition is drawn from Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Edition, and is used in the context of Indian laws as a reference in legal manuals and ready reckoners.
