Explanation:

·In advisory jurisdiction Supreme Court is not bound to give advice on such matters and president is not bound to accept such an advice
·This utility is two – fold. In the first, it allows the government to seek legal opinion on a matter of importance before taking action on it. This may prevent unnecessary litigations later. Secondly, in the light of the advice of the Supreme Court, the government can make suitable changes in its action or legislations.
