Per the unit, the decisions of one High Court in India have what status before another High Court?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. The unit states: 'decisions of one High Court are only persuasive precedents in other High Courts.'
2. They are not absolutely binding because the two High Courts are of co-ordinate jurisdiction.
3. The Supreme Court's rulings, by contrast, are absolutely binding on all High Courts.
4. The other options misstate this.
5. So the status is persuasive only.
