Jeevraj And Anr. vs Lalchand And Ors. on 26 August, 1968
It is true that where a point has not been argued and certain general observations have been made which may seem to cover points not argued before the Court, they may not be considered to be binding, and in such cases the binding nature of the observation of the Court may be limited to the points specifically raised and decided by the Court. It is also true that pronouncements made on concessions of counsel, where a point is not argued, are not binding -- Venkanna v. Laxmi Sanappa, AIR 1951 Born. 57 at p. 63 but otherwise even what is generally called an 'obiter dictum' provided it is upon a point raised and argued, is binding upon the Courts in India."
