Respected and dear Sridharan Sir,
I came across the following in today (Fri., April 22)'s "PENSIONERS VOICE & SOUND TRACK - Editor : R.K.Sahni :e Circular dated 21/4/2016
To chairman- 21.04.2016
Communication of 21st March 2016 to the Chairman on the Hon SC order dated 31/3/2016
In this context, it is necessary to bring to your attention the obiters of the Hon Apex Court and we request you to recognize the same while you instruct implementation.

obiter (redirected from obiters) obiter (ˈɒbɪtə; ˈəʊbɪtə) adv (Law) law in a parenthetic or incidental manner (The Free Dictionary)
Obiter dictum (more usually used in the plural, obiter dicta) is Latin for a word said "by the way",[1] that is, a remark in a judgment that is "said in passing". It is a concept derived from English common law, whereby a judgment comprises only two elements: ratio decidendi and obiter dicta. For the purposes of judicial precedent, ratio decidendi is binding, whereas obiter dicta are persuasive only.(Wikipedia).
Obiter Dictum
[Latin, By the way.] Words of an opinion entirely unnecessary for the decision of the case. A remark made or opinion expressed by a judge in a decision upon a cause, "by the way", that is, incidentally or collaterally, and not directly upon the question before the court or upon a point not necessarily involved in the determination of the cause, or introduced by way of illustration, or analogy or argument. Such are not binding as precedent.
obiter dictum something said by a judge in a decision that is not essential to the decision and does not form part of the RATIO DECIDENDI.(Legal Dictionary).
obiters : Noun plural form of obiter (Your Dictionary)
