Explanation:

Article 143 (Power of President to consult Supreme Court) discusses the advisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

If the president feels that a question of law or fact has arisen or is likely to arise and the question is of such a nature and of such public importance that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court upon it, he can refer the same to Supreme Court for its advisory Opinion. Such an opinion is NOT binding on the president.
