Admission

Admission is the process of admitting someone in a class, place or institution. It is the action of entering or being allowed to enter a premises.

Acknowledging the truth of something is also called admission of certain fact.

As a legal term, when a court admits a case for detailed hearing, it is called admission of the petition. Usually, after a case is registered it is placed before the Court for its hearing, known as the preliminary hearing. The Court considers whether the case should be proceeded with by directing the respondents to show cause why the petition should not be admitted. Sometimes the Court admits a case without hearing the respondents, or dismisses the case in limine. If the case is admitted, it is listed for a more detailed hearing.
