Obiter dicta literally means "by the way": These are by the way statements of
law or fact made by judge in the course of judgment.
They do not dispose of the case before the court and have no binding
force. These statements strengthen or reinforce the decision of the court.
They may be relied upon by advocates in subsequent cases as persuasive authority.
