Statements by Counsel for A Party and Its Legal Effect

In case of Union of India v. Subit Kumar Das [2025] GCtR 1605 (SC), it was held that "a wrong concession on a question of law, made by a counsel, is not binding on his client. Such concession cannot constitute a just ground for a binding precedent." "If the learned Counsel has made an admission or concession inadvertently or under a mistaken impression of law, it is not binding on his client and the same cannot enure to the benefit of any party."
