The Supreme Court of India has various jurisdictions. Its advisory jurisdiction is derived from Article 143 of the Constitution. This article empowers the President of India to refer to the Supreme Court questions of law or fact that have arisen or are likely to arise and are of such a nature and of such public importance that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court upon it. The Supreme Court may, after such hearing as it thinks fit, report to the President its opinion thereon.

Article 143 of the Constitution grants the Supreme Court advisory jurisdiction, allowing the President to seek its opinion on questions of law or fact of public importance.
