Article 143 of CoI : Article 143: Power Of The President To Consult The Supreme Court

Explanation using Example

Imagine the government plans to implement a new policy that requires all social media companies to share user data with security agencies for national security purposes. This raises a question of law regarding the right to privacy versus national security. Before the policy is enacted, the President of India, understanding the significance of the issue, decides to seek the Supreme Court's opinion on the legality and constitutionality of such a policy. The President refers the question to the Supreme Court under Article 143 of the Constitution of India. The Supreme Court then conducts hearings and provides its opinion to the President, which helps guide the government’s decision on the policy’s implementation.
