    D) Original Jurisdiction

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The power of the Supreme Court of India to decide disputes between the centre and the states falls   under its original jurisdiction. The original jurisdiction of a court is the power to hear a case for the first time, as opposed to appellate jurisdiction, when a court has the power to review a lower court's decision. In India, the Supreme Court has exclusive original jurisdiction on all cases between the Government and the States or between Government and states on side and one or more states on other side or cases between different states. In addition, Article 32 of the Constitution of India grants original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court on all cases involving the enforcement of fundamental rights of citizens.
