Why do Supreme Court decisions have precedential importance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they can provide legal guidance to other courts

Direct answer: A is correct. A precedent is an earlier judicial decision that can guide the reasoning of courts in later cases with similar legal issues. The Supreme Court is the highest court in India, so its interpretation of the Constitution and laws has authoritative value for the judicial system; lower courts generally follow the legal principles it lays down, subject to the facts and law of each case. This promotes consistency and predictability. A is correct because precedent gives legal guidance. B is wrong because sports rules are not the reason for judicial precedent. C is wrong because judges do not vote as members of Parliament. D is wrong because ministerial appointments belong to the constitutional political process, not the Supreme Court. Memory cue: precedent means an earlier legal decision guiding a later one.
