The Supreme Court can issue advisory opinions under Article 143 in response to Presidential reference, and such opinions have the same binding force as writ judgments under Article 32.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

Article 143: President may refer questions of law/fact of public importance to SC for advisory opinion. However, advisory opinion is NOT binding on President or government; it's consultative. Writ judgments under Article 32 are binding and enforceable. Advisory jurisdiction complements but does not replace writ jurisdiction; serves different constitutional purposes.
