Rigidity in the operation of a legal system is a sign of weakness, not strength.

10. However, as Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead has held in Spectrum Plus Limited and others Vs. National Westminster Bank PLC ([2005] 2 AC 680) as under; 

―Rigidity in the operation of a legal system is a sign of weakness, not strength. It deprives a legal system of necessary elasticity. Far from achieving a constitutionally exemplary result, it can produce a legal system unable to function effectively in changing times. 'Never say never' is a wise judicial precept, in the interest of all citizens of the country.‖ Therefore, in the extreme exceptional cases a writ petition against interlocutory orders may be held maintainable.
