The Advisory Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court allows the President to seek the court's advice on legal matters.
Under Article 143 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court of India can offer advisory opinions on legal questions presented by the President. This jurisdiction does not involve the court's authority to enforce law, but rather serves a consultative function, helping the executive to navigate complex legal issues.
The Advisory Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of India is defined under Article 143 of the Constitution. This provision allows the President of India to seek the Supreme Court's opinion on legal matters that are of considerable importance or complexity.

Although opinions given in this jurisdiction are not binding on the President, they do carry significant weight and are often relied upon to inform governmental actions.
