UPSC 2010: Consider the following statements: The Supreme Court of India tenders advice to the President of India on matters of law or fact 1. on its own initiative (on any matter of larger public interest). 2. if he seeks such an advice. 3. only if the matters relate to the Fundamental Rights of the citizens. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)3
(d)1 and 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Under Article 143 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court may render an advisory opinion only when the President specifically refers a question of law or fact to it; the Court cannot initiate such advice suo-motu, and the reference need not relate to Fundamental Rights alone. Hence statement 2 alone is correct, while 1 and 3 are wrong.
