Actus Dei Nemini Injuriam –
' law holds no man responsible for the Act of God.'
Court held a strike to be an act of god and held the maxim Actus Dei Nemini Facit Injuriam squarely applicable to such cases. Court further stated that in abnormal situations like a strike in question, which can hardly be resisted by any litigant by applying any amount of skill or ability of his own, the courts should not insist on strict adherence to the procedural law so as to prejudice the interest of such litigants. In a legal sense, such incidents are well covered by the expression “Acts of God.”
