Versus
State of Maharashtra … Respondent


Para 18 of Judgement

18. When there are binding decisions, judicial comity expects
and requires the same to be followed. Judicial comity is an
integral part of judicial discipline and judicial discipline the
cornerstone of judicial integrity. No doubt, in case there are
newer dimensions not in conflict with the ratio of larger
bench decisions or where there is anything to be added to
and explained, it is always permissible to introduce the
same.
