<h1>Supreme Court sentencing decisions based on specific case facts cannot constitute binding precedent under Article 141</h1> Article 141 establishes the rule of binding precedence in Indian law. Supreme Court decisions on sentencing based on specific case facts cannot constitute binding precedent. Every judicial decision contains three elements: factual findings, applicable legal principles, and final judgment. The ratio decidendi (legal principle underlying the decision) forms the binding precedent for subsequent cases, not the entire judgment. Courts must carefully identify the legal principle when applying precedents. Decisions lacking express reasoning or proper consideration cannot be deemed binding law. All Indian courts must follow Supreme Court decisions as constitutional mandate.
