Which of the following courts in India is empowered with original jurisdiction to adjudicate legal disputes between the Government of India and one or more States?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 131 of the Indian Constitution vests the Supreme Court with exclusive original jurisdiction in any dispute between the Centre and states or between states inter se. High courts lack jurisdiction over inter-governmental federal disputes. Other alternatives refer to tribunals or statutory bodies without original constitutional jurisdiction over federal suits. Article 32 covers fundamental rights enforcement.
