  • D
    None of the above.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Government of Karnataka v. Gowramma.
In the case of Government of Karnataka v. Gowramma $(2007)$ the Supreme Court held that reliance on the decision without looking into the factual background of the case before it is clearly impermissible. A decision is a precedent on its own facts. Each case presents its own features. It is not everything said by a Judge while giving a judgment that constitutes a precedent. The only thing in a Judges decision binding a party is the principle upon which the case is decided and for this reason, it is important to analyze a decision and isolate from it the ratio decidendi.
