MAXIM-
MAXIM " VIGILANTIBUS NON DORMIENTBUS JURA SUBVENIENT"-
MEANING AND SCOPE-
LAW ASSISTS THOSE WHO ARE VIGILANT AND NOT THOSE WHO SLEEP OVER THEIR RIGHTS-BUT EVEN A VIGILANT LITIGANT IS PRONE TO COMMIT MISTAKES-APHORISM "TO ERR IS HUMAN"
BEING MORE A PRACTICAL NOTION OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR THAN AN ABSTRACT PHYLOSOPHY, UNINTENTIONA LAPS ON THE PART OF A LITIGANT SHOULD NOT NORMALLY CAUSE THE DOORS OF THE JUDICATURE PERMANENTLY CLOSED BEFORE HIM-
EFFORT OF THE COURT SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF FINDING MEANS TO PULL DOWN THE SHUTTERS OF ADJUDICATORY JURISDICTION BRFORE A PARTY WHO SEEKS JUSTICE, ON ACCOUNT OF ANY MISTAKE COMMITED BY HIM, BUT TO SEE WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENTERTAIN MIS GRIEVANCE IF IT IS GENUINE.
