221. (a) If at any time it appears to the President of the Federation that a question of law has arisen or is likely to arise, which is of such a nature and of such public importance that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court upon it, he may refer the question to that Court for consideration, and the Court may, after such hearing as it thinks fit, report to the President thereon.
(b) No report shall be made save in accordance with an opinion delivered in open court with concurrence of a majority of the Judges present at the hearing of the case, but nothing in the Clause shall be deemed to prevent a judge, who does not concur, from delivering a dissenting opinion.
