Give the definition of "obiter dicta" made in a judgment within a case

Obiter dicta is a Latin phrase which when translated means "other things said" by the judge. This is unlike ratio decidendi which is the decision made by the judge and is binding for future cases. Obiter Dicta is not binding but may act as persuasive precedent in future cases.
