--- “Law aids the vigilant and not the indolent” --- The maxim “Vigilantibus Non Dormientibus Jura Subveniunt” embodies the principle that the law assists those who are vigilant in asserting their rights and not those who sleep over them --- Delay in invoking a lawful remedy may therefore result in denial of relief.
