Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statements given below regarding Advisory Jurisdiction of Supreme Court is/are correct?
1. Under Article 143, the President can seek the opinion of the Supreme Court only in constitutional matters.
2. The opinion expressed by the Supreme Court is a judicial pronouncement.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Both the statements are incorrect.
Advisory Jurisdiction: The Constitution (Article 143) authorizes the president to seek the opinion of the Supreme Court in the two categories of matters:
(a) On any question of law or fact of public importance which has arisen or which is likely to arise.
(b) On any dispute arising out of any pre-constitution treaty, agreement, covenant, engagement, sanad or other similar instruments.
In the first case, the Supreme Court may tender or may refuse to tender its opinion to the president. But, in the second case, the Supreme Court ‘must’ tender its opinion to the president. In both the cases, the opinion expressed by the Supreme Court is only advisory and not a judicial pronouncement. Hence, it is not binding on the president; he may follow or may not follow the opinion. However, it facilitates the government to have an authoritative legal opinion on a matter to be decided by it.Incorrect
