A pardon does not mean the giving up of justice, but rather establishes a just and fair release from the consequences of the offense where possible. Offenses are all action contrary to established policies, practices, job assignments or orders. Gross offenses include illegal activities, insubordination and serious neglect of duties. Do not submit the answers. One of the classic cases of administrative pardon is James and his brothers.
Vindication is an expression of innocence.
A written reprimand includes a statement of possible dismissal. A person seeking pardon needs to show remorse. This is the common pardon granted by the President, governors and other civic authorities. Clemency has a long history. It is granted to people of poverty, friendless condition, youth, old age, and to those who are sincerely penitent or have engaged in good conduct and were reformed.
