Career Institute Educational Society vs Om Shree Thakurji Educational Society on 24 April, 2023
Mrs. Banerjee relied on a decision passed in Special Leave to Appeal
(C) Nos.7455-7456/2023 (Career Institute Educational Society Vs. Om
Shree Thakurji Educational Society) to draw the distinction between
obiter dicta and ratio decidendi in a judgment. She submits that even if a
conclusion is made on facts it may not operate as a precedent if not the
ratio of a case, though the same may operate as a res judicata. Everything
stated in a judgment by an Hon'ble Judge cannot constitute a precedent.
