नज़ीरात्मक; मिसाल/नज़ीर से संबंधित; पूर्वनजीरी

Origin & History

From precedent + -ial/-ential, ultimately from Latin prae- (“before”) + cedere (“to go”), via the legal sense of “precedent.”

‘precedent’ से बना (precedent + -ial/-ential); मूलतः लैटिन prae (“पहले”) + cedere (“जाना/आगे बढ़ना”) से, और कानूनी अर्थ में ‘नज़ीर/मिसाल’ के रूप में विकसित।

Definition

In law and policy, something is precedential when it establishes or provides a binding or persuasive example that later decisions may follow.

क़ानून और नीति में, कोई बात ‘precedential’ तब कहलाती है जब वह ऐसा मिसाल/नज़ीर स्थापित करे जो बाद के फैसलों के लिए बाध्यकारी या प्रभावशाली उदाहरण बन जाए।
