Can SC set a time limit for the decision of the President and the Governor? President asked

The President has sought an opinion from the Supreme Court regarding the decision that set a deadline for the President and the Governor to take a deadline to decide on the bills. The President has raised 14 questions from the Supreme Court by sending Presidential References under Article 143 (1) of the Constitution. Under the prescribed process, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court forms a constitution bench of five judges to consider such cases. The Constitution Bench expresses its opinion after considering all the questions deeply. Last month, a decision was given by a 2 -judge bench of the Supreme Court on the matter of pending 10 Bills of Tamil Nadu to the Governor and the President. The court had termed all the bills as perfect. Also, it was also said that the Governor and the President should take a decision within a fixed time limit. If this does not happen, the court can interfere. This decision was being seen as a confrontation between the government and the judiciary. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar criticized it in strict words. He compared Article 142 to give special power to the Supreme Court to the missile. Among the law experts, the government had the option of filing a review petition in this case or sending Presidential References. Now about this, President Draupadi Murmu has sent a reference and sought answers to 14 questions from the Supreme Court. These questions are:- 1. When a bill is sent to the Governor under Article 200 of the Constitution, what constitutional options are there in front of him? 2. Is the Governor bound by the help and advice of the Council of Ministers while using his options in India? 3. Can the Governor hear the steps taken by Article 200 in the court? 4. Article 361, which keeps the Governor free from court action, bans judicial review of the decision taken by them under Article 200? 5. When the time limit is not given in the Constitution, can the time limit be set for the use of the powers of the Governor through judicial order? Can the method of exercise of those powers be determined? 6. Under Article 201 of the Constitution, the President takes a decision using his conscience? Can his power be heard in court? 7. When no time limit for the President’s decision has been fixed under Article 201 in the Constitution, can this be done through judicial order? 8. Does the President need to send a reference under Article 143 to take a decision under Article 201? 9. Under Article 200 and Article 201, the Governor and the President have to decide on the bills. Then he takes the form of law. Is it appropriate to consider the court constitutionally before the law is enacted by a bill? 10. Article 142, which gives special power to the Supreme Court for justice, can be used for matters coming under the jurisdiction of the President and Governor? 11. Can the Pass Bill from the Assembly be made a law without the consent of the Governor under Article 200 of the Constitution? 12. When the issue is important in constitutional terms, should it not be sent to a bench of at least 5 judges under Article 145 (3)? 13. Can the Supreme Court use Article 142 against any law or constitutional provision? 14. Article 131 provides for the intervention of the Supreme Court to resolve the disputes between the Central and State Governments. Does this article prevent the Supreme Court from interfering in other cases?
