hey mate here is your answer,
Ratio Decidendi :
⏩ the rule of law on which a judicial decision is based.
⏩ The legal principle upon which the decision in a specific case is founded. The ratio decidendi is also known as the rationale for a decision.
Obiter Dicta :
⏩ a judge's expression of opinion uttered in court or in a written judgement, but not essential to the decision and therefore not legally binding as a precedent.
⏩ The Latin term obiter dicta means “things said by the way,” and is generally used in law to refer to an opinion or non-necessary remark made by a judge.
Hope this helps ❤
