'Ratio decidendi' refers to the legal principle laid down in a judgment, while 'Obiter dicta' refers to any passing remarks made by a judge in a judgment that are not necessary for or related to the decision of the judgment.
Ratio decidendi has referential value to be cited as precedent in other cases, whereas Obiter dicta can be ignored as the personal view or observation of the judge who made it.
