Case Law Details
CA Sandeep Kanoi
The maxim DIES DOMINICUS NON EAST JURIDICUS means Sunday is not a day for judicial or legal proceedings. It is a day which has been reserved for divine service from times immemorial. Therefore, as of practice ordinarily no judicial work or act is done on Sundays though ministerial acts may be performed or the law makers may occasionally sit and make laws even on Sundays. The above practice in principle has always been, and still is, law except, if otherwise provided by the Statute.
The above principal is not absolute and may not be applicable to the extraordinary jurisdiction exercised by the courts for protection of the fundamental rights of the citizens or any other legal right. It may also not apply where the courts for reasons to be recorded are of the view that any delay on its part would defeat the interest of justice.
