    Question

    Which one of the following is not a case relating to the doctrine of precedent?

    A.

    Sajjan Singh v. State of Rajasthan

    B.

    Prakash Chand Pathak v. State of U.P.

    C.

    Liversidge v. Anderson

    D.

    Bengal Immunity Co. Ltd. v. State of Bihar

    Correct option is C

    Liversidge v. Anderson is not related to the doctrine of precedent. It is an English case concerning the limits of executive power during wartime. The doctrine of precedent is primarily addressed in Indian cases like Sajjan Singh, Prakash Chand Pathak, and Bengal Immunity Co. Ltd. v. State of Bihar.
    Information Booster:
    The doctrine of precedent, or stare decisis, requires courts to follow the legal principles established in previous decisions when similar facts arise in subsequent cases.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Sajjan Singh v. State of Rajasthan: Dealt with constitutional amendments.
    · Prakash Chand Pathak v. State of U.P.: Involved criminal law and precedent.
    · Bengal Immunity Co. Ltd. v. State of Bihar: A landmark case on constitutional interpretation and federalism.
