Explain 'justice delayed is justice denied '.
Answers
Originally Answered: What does “justice delayed, is justice denied” mean? "Justice delayed is justice denied" is a legal maxim meaning that if legal redress is available for a party that has suffered some injury, but is not forthcoming in a timely fashion, it is effectively the same as having no redress at all.
Answer:
Explanation:
Justice can be defined as the punishment or penalty that is imposed upon any person who commits a crime by breaking the rule of conduct or law and harms other person.
It is necessary that the person who is guilty of committing a crime and harming another person is punished as soon as his guilt is proved in the court of law.
This will provide immediate redress to the victim who was harmed in the crime.
Also, this serves as a warning for other people so that they abstain themselves from committing similar crimes.
If the delivery of justice gets delayed, then the chances of occurrence of similar crimes in future get increased and also the victim fails to get any redress.
Hence, this situation becomes similar the situation that would have arisen if justice was denied.
