Which of the following jurisdiction is used by the Supreme Court of India to decide a dispute between two or more States?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A dispute between two or more States falls within the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article 131 when the existence or extent of a legal right is involved. Original jurisdiction means that the proceedings begin in the Supreme Court, rather than reaching it on appeal. Advisory jurisdiction concerns presidential references for the Court's opinion.
