‘Ubi jus ibi remedium’ is a latin maxim which means where there is a right there is a remedy. The word ‘Jus’ means the legal authority to do or demand something, and the word ‘remedium’ means the right of action in a Court of law. The literal meaning of this maxim is that whenever there is a legal right, there is a legal remedy. It also means that there is no wrong without a remedy.
landmark cases based on this maxim-
1. Sardar Amarjit Singh Kalra v. Promod Gupta & Ors.
2. Ashby vs White
3. D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal
4. Bhim Singh v. State of Jammu & Kashmir
5. Shivkumar Chadha v. Municipal Corporation of Delhi

How sweet , when a member comes to the forum to learn something, instead of turning him out discouraging him, providing basic inputs welcoming him to the forum !!!
