SYED SAAD ALI VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN THROUGH SECRETARY MINISTRY. Sub-silentio, doctrine of---Meaning, concept, scope and application---The doctrine of "sub-silentio" accentuates a legal principle where a judgment is rendered without specifically and precisely avowing or attending to the exact question of law raised for determination---In fact, sub silentio, a Latin term, literally translates to "under silence" or "in silence"---In legal milieus, it points towards an incidence where the Court decides a lis without appreciating or deliberating the particular point of law raised before it, which disturbs the precedential value of the judgment---This doctrine often denotes that if the court, in its judgment, overlooked or dispensed with a crucial point of law raised before it, then the precedential value of such decision is seriously disturbed---A decision is not binding if it was reached at without argument, without reference to the critical terms of the law, and without citation of authority---Such a decision, taken as sub silentio, lacks authoritative weight.
