The maxim 'Actus curiae neminem gravabit' means:-

  • A.An act of the Court shall prejudice no man.
  • B.The act of God does wrong to no one.
  • C.An act in law shall prejudice no man.
  • D.An act does not constitute guilt unless done with a guilty intention.

Answer: A

Actus curiae neminem gravabit means an act of the Court shall prejudice no man.

The maxim requires a court to undo any harm a party suffers because of the court's own act or delay, for example by restoring a party to the position he would have been in had the court not erred. Indian courts apply it often, for instance when relief is delayed by pending proceedings.

'An act in law shall prejudice no man' is actus legis nemini est damnosus, and 'the act of God does wrong to no one' is actus Dei nemini facit injuriam. 'An act does not constitute guilt unless done with a guilty intention' translates actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea.
