Article 141 of the Constitution makes the decisions of which court binding on all other courts within India?

AAny High Court
BThe Supreme Court
CThe District Court of the relevant jurisdiction
DThe Privy Council pre-1950
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The Supreme Court
1. The unit cites Article 141 directly. 2. Article 141 declares that the law declared by the Supreme Court shall be binding on all courts within the territory of India. 3. High Court decisions bind only the courts under their jurisdiction. 4. Privy Council decisions pre-1950 bind High Courts only until overruled by the Supreme Court. 5. So the Supreme Court is the only court whose decisions bind all courts under Article 141. _Source: ICSI CS Executive Programme, Paper 1 "Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws", Lesson 1 "Sources of Law" (Nov 2021 edition, pp 2-19)._
