President Murmu has asked if fixed timelines can be 'imposed' by judiciary on President & Governors for clearing state bills. There have been at least 14 such References since Independence.

The article from ThePrint discusses the concept of a Presidential Reference under Article 143(1) of the Indian Constitution, which allows the President to seek the Supreme Court's opinion on a question of law or fact of public importance. It explains that while the Supreme Court's opinion in such references is advisory and not binding, it holds significant weight. The article provides historical context by detailing past instances where Presidential References were invoked, including the 1975 reference on the Kerala Education Bill, the 1998 reference concerning the immunity of legislators from judicial proceedings, and the 2007 reference related to the 2G spectrum allocation. It also mentions the 2010 reference on the allocation of natural resources, highlighting the varied and significant issues addressed through this constitutional mechanism.
