  2. BOnly the High Court of the state where the case arose
  3. COnly subordinate courts of the same district
  4. DOnly the Supreme Court itself in later cases

Article 141 provides that the law declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all courts in India. This makes Supreme Court judgments a strong source of law through precedent. Restricting the binding force to one state or district is wrong because the Supreme Court's authority is nationwide.
