President Droupadi Murmu has invoked Article 143 to seek the Supreme Court’s opinion on a two-judge bench verdict that set deadlines for the President and Governors to decide on state bills. The query, posed just before Chief Justice BR Gavai took office, includes 14 critical constitutional questions, challenging the judiciary’s authority to impose timelines and review executive discretion under Articles 200 and 201. This development follows the Tamil Nadu Governor case, where the Court ruled the President must act within three months. CJI Gavai must now form a Constitution bench to deliberate this potentially precedent-setting query. (PC: PTI)
