Which of the following legal maxim emphasizes on the objective of Section 4 of the Limitation Act, 1963?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Both maxims explain section 4: the law does not compel the impossible, and an act of the court should prejudice nobody. When limitation expires on a day the court is closed, filing is permitted on the day it reopens. That avoids requiring an impossible filing during closure and prevents the court's closure from defeating the litigant's remedy.
