“Justice delayed is justice denied” was stated by—
- Disreali
- Emerson
- Gladstone
- Shakespeare
Answer: Gladstone
Explanation: “Justice delayed is justice denied” is a legal maxim. It means that if legal redress (প্রতিকার, বিহিত) or equitable relief to an injured party is available, but is not forthcoming (আসন্ন) in a timely fashion, it is effectively the same as having no remedy at all.
There are conflicting accounts of who first noted the phrase. According to Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations, it is attributable to William Ewart Gladstone, but such attribution was not verifiable.
Alternatively, it may be attributed to William Penn in the form “to delay Justice is Injustice”.
