The Supreme Court's advisory opinion will be watched carefully in legal circles as they set the boundaries between the executive and judiciary concerning legislative processes.

President Droupadi Murmu recently invoked Article 143(1) of the Indian Constitution to refer 14 questions to the Supreme Court, challenging its April 8, 2025, ruling that set deadlines for Governors and the President to act on state legislation. The core of these questions centers on whether the judiciary can impose time-bound directives on constitutional authorities like the President and Governors, especially when the Constitution does not explicitly prescribe such timelines. The reference also seeks clarity on the concept of "deemed assent" and the judiciary's use of Article 142 to enforce such deadlines. This move has sparked a debate on the separation of powers, with critics arguing it may undermine judicial authority and state autonomy, while supporters view it as a necessary step to resolve ambiguities in constitutional procedures. The Supreme Court's forthcoming advisory opinion will be pivotal in delineating the boundaries between the executive and judiciary concerning legislative processes.
