Explanation

Judgement of a same Bench are not of the co-equal strength. The analysis of English and Indian Law clearly leads to the irresistible conclusion that not only the judgment of a larger strength is binding on a judgment of smaller strength but the judgment of a co-equal strength is also binding on a bench of judges of co-equal strength.
