Which one of the following does not fall under the jurisdiction of the apex court of India?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Supreme Court of India possesses a wide range of powers categorized into specific jurisdictions. Original jurisdiction, as defined under Article 131, allows the court to hear federal disputes between the Union and States or between States directly [3]. Appellate jurisdiction enables the court to hear appeals against judgments from High Courts in civil, criminal, and constitutional matters [3]. Advisory jurisdiction, under Article 143, empowers the President of India to seek the court's opinion on significant questions of law or fact [3]. While the Supreme Court uses a 'Collegium' system for the appointment and transfer of judges, 'Collegiate Jurisdiction' is not a recognized legal category of the court's adjudicatory authority under the Indian Constitution [3]. Therefore, it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the apex court.
