@ Kuldeep First of all i want to exlain what is rem and personam. Rem means general and personam means specific or particular., So judgement in rem means judgement in general sense it may deal issues which are criminal in nature and which effects the society as a whole and judgement in personam means judgement relating to particular person e.g civil cases judgements. In judgements in personam the matter is related to particular individual. Hope it helps you.
