*LEGAL PHRASE*

*Boni judicis lites dirimere est*

This maxim refers that a good judge knows how to get cases settled that should be settled easily and avoiding needless litigation. It is the duty of a good judge to prevent litigations, that suit may not grow out of suit, and it concerns the welfare of a state that an end be put to litigation.

*CASE REFERENCE*

_Land acquisition officer v. Karigowda, (2010) 5 SCC 708_

In this case court held that an established maxim “Boni judicis est lites dirimere, ne lis ex lite oritur, et interest reipublicae ut sint fines litium”, casts a duty upon the Court to bring litigation to an end or at least endure that if possible, no further litigation arises from the cases pending before the Court in accordance with law. This doctrine would be applicable with greater emphasis where the judgment of the Court has attained finality before the highest Court. All other Courts should decide similar cases particularly covered cases, expeditiously and in consonance with the law of precedents.
