Can obiter dicta be rescinded by the same judge who made it?
I think you may be confusing the meaning of the term. The word obiter dicta is a Latin word which means "things said by the way." Obiter dicta can be passing comments, opinions or examples provided by a judge. Statements constituting 'obiter dicta' are not binding. [For example, if a court dismisses a case due to lack of jurisdiction and offers opinions on the merits of a case, then these opinions constitute 'obiter dicta.'] Obiter dictum (plural of obiter dicta) is an opinion or a remark made by a judge which does not form a part of the court's decision. Therefore, obiter dictum are not legally binding and can ONLY be rescinded, or withdrawn, by the judge who made them.
