Which one among the following disputes is not included in the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of India ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of India is defined under Article 131 of the Constitution. It covers federal disputes involving the Government of India and one or more States, or disputes between two or more States. Specifically, it includes cases between the Union and any State(s) on one side and other State(s) on the opposite side. However, this jurisdiction is strictly limited to disputes between the constituent units of the Indian federation. It does not extend to disputes between the Government of India and individual citizens. Such cases involving citizens are typically handled through writ jurisdiction under Article 32 or through the appellate process. Therefore, a dispute between the Government of India and one or more citizens of India is not included in the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
