Under Article 141 of the Constitution, which statement about the law declared by the Supreme Court is correct?

Under Article 141, the law declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all courts within India. It is not limited to the parties in the case or to one state. This gives Supreme Court judgments the force of binding precedent across the whole country.

  2. BIt binds only the High Court of the state where the case arose
  3. CIt binds only the parties to that particular case
  4. DIt is merely persuasive for subordinate courts

Article 141 provides that the law declared by the Supreme Court is binding on all courts in India. Hence it is not limited to the parties or to one High Court. Treating it as only persuasive confuses it with decisions of one High Court on courts in other states.
