“Doctrine of Stare Decisis”:-
The Doctrine of Stare Decisis, meaning to stand by decided cases, rests upon the principle that law by which men are governed should be fixed, definite and known. Where a Principle of law has become established by a series of decisions, it is binding on the Courts. Judgements which have held the field for a fairly long time ought not to be disturbed unless there is a prepondering necessity dictated by the demands of justice to overturn them.
