Which is NOT correct about the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. It can hear ordinary dispute of commercial nature between the Government of India and the states.
The statement “It can hear ordinary disputes of commercial nature between the Government of India and the states” is not correct about the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Under Article 131 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction covers legal disputes involving the Government of India and one or more states or between states, but only when the matter involves a question of law or legal right, not ordinary commercial or contractual disputes. Such commercial matters, even if involving the government and a state, are typically handled by lower courts or tribunals and not under the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction.
