'Not Everything Said In A Judgment Constitutes A Precedent' : Supreme Court Explains Distinction Between Obiter Dicta & Ratio Decidendi
https://www.livelaw.in/supreme-court/supreme-court-obiter-dicta-ratio-decidendi-distinction-career-institute-educational-society-vs-om-shree-thakurji-educational-society-227739

Ratio decidendi v obiter dicta Explained


1. “The inversion test” (Effect of removing that law point) to identify what is ratio decidendi in a judgment. To test whether a particular proposition of law is to be treated as the ratio decidendi of the case, the proposition is to be inversed, i.e. to remove from the text of the judgment as if it did not exist. If the conclusion of the case would still have been the same even without examining the proposition, then it cannot be regarded as the ratio decidendi of the case.

2. Fact and conclusions not precedent-
It is not the findings of material facts, direct and inferential, but the statements of the principles of law applicable to the legal problems disclosed by the facts, which is the vital element in the decision and operates as a precedent. Even the conclusion does not operate as a precedent, albeit operates as res judicata. Thus, it is not everything said by a Judge when giving judgment that constitutes a precedent. The only thing in a Judge's decision binding as a legal precedent is the principle upon which the case is decided and, for this reason, it is important to analyse a decision and isolate from it the obiter dicta

[Section 223 BNSS] Notice Of Hearing Can Be Issued To Prospective Accused Only After Examining Complainant And Witnesses: Kerala High Court
https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/kerala-high-court/kerala-high-court-bnss-section-223-cognizance-offence-magistrate-hearing-accused-282428

👨‍⚖️ Nothing New only purpose of 223 1st proviso is mentioned

Court stated that hearing of accused is made mandatory under Section 223 (1) of the BNSS so that the Magistrate could decide whether or not to take cognizance. It said, 💭 “Presumably, the purpose behind the proviso is to provide an opportunity to the Magistrate to assimilate the correct facts, for deciding whether or not to take cognizance of the offence.”


🤔 Term Cognizance not defined, apex court decision relied upon S.K.Sinha, Chief Enforcement Officer v. Videocon International Ltd. and Others (2008),
the Court stated that taking cognisance of an offence occurs when Magistrate takes judicial notice of an offence for initiating proceedings. It stated that once cognizance of an offence is taken, then the Magistrate has to decide whether to issue process to the accused or not.

#Quotes_@CurrentLegalGK

"As I look back on the years of my legal profession, I am struck by how much it has shaped me. You start out with idealistic notions believing that you are the voice of reason, the champion of Justice. To borrow the words of Benjamin Cardozo - Justice is not to be taken by storm, she is to be moved by slow advance - over the years and as a judge serving 2 decades, I have now realised that the pursuit of justice is steady, slowly shifting society and strengthening democracy." 

~ Hrishikesh Roy
