Dear JC, 1.WHILST I MUST NOT LET YOU CONFUSE THE ISSUE, THE QUESTION YOU ASKED BEGS AN ANSWER. 2. WHETHER "RATIO" OR "OBITER" IT BINDS ALL COURTS NOT SUPERIOR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA. 3. Refer judgements of various High Courts of India. RESPONSE: Mogal Gerald, After reading #2 (above), I believe it is best that I declare you winner of this "debate" and bow out gracefully, albeit in bewiderment. I have to wonder, however, what it is that the Bharat Universities/Colleges of Law teach these days. If they are teaching students what you have in #2, I wonder whether they should not be renamed Barath (or Mehndi) Universities. I will leave you with this phrase: "have no authoritative value" It refers to Obiter statements and it comes from the following blog. It might interest you to ascertain WHO the author of the blog is. http://www.legalblog.in/2011/09/concept-of-obiter-dicta-law.html Thank you Sir, You have won. jc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
