The function 'maintenance of land records and revenue collection' is NOT an important function of the Supreme Court of India. This task falls under the responsibility of revenue and administrative departments of the state or central government. The Supreme Court's primary functions include interpreting the Constitution, protecting fundamental rights, settling disputes between states and the centre, and acting as the highest appellate court in civil and criminal cases. It also has the power of judicial review to ensure laws passed by the legislature are constitutional. Administrative tasks like land records are not judicial functions.
