Pardon= Ba-izzat bari kia jaata hai; all charges are absolved.

Commute= Changing the nature of the sentence, for example converting death sentence into life sentence, or life sentence into 20-30 years of imprisonment. 

Remit= Reducing the time of the punishment. ex- If initially you were jailed for 15 years, after remitting, you may be jailed for 5 years ...

Respite= Changing/reducing the sentence in case of special cases, like pregnant women, old aged, physically challenged etc. 

Suspend= Holding on for some time, so that the convict can in the meantime try out other forms of appeals etc.
