    Suo Moto, meaning "on its own motion," is an Indian legal term, approximately equivalent to the English term Sua Sponte. It is used, for example, where a government agency acts on its own cognisance, as in "the Commission took Suo Moto control over the matter." Example; "there is no requirement that a court suo moto instruct a jury upon these defenses." State v. Pierson.

    It is really easy to be translated into English, "suo moto" is used in formal English and signifies "on his credo" or " on his creed", "moto" could be extended as meaning even to "belief" and "intuitive".Then it will sound like "on his own belief" or "on his own intuitive"

    Have a great day!
