A
The power of the Supreme Court of India to resolve disputes between the Union and one or more states, or between two or more states, falls under its original jurisdiction.
Original jurisdiction means the power to hear a case for the first time, as opposed to appellate jurisdiction, where the court reviews a decision of a lower court. The Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction is exclusively for disputes of a federal nature. Advisory jurisdiction is when the President seeks the Court’s opinion on a question of law or fact.
