The correct answer is C) Collegiate Jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court of India exercises several types of jurisdictions:
1. Original Jurisdiction: Matters where the Supreme Court has the exclusive authority to hear the case directly (e.g., disputes between the Union and states, or between states).
2. Appellate Jurisdiction: The power to hear appeals against judgments of lower courts, primarily High Courts. This includes constitutional, civil, and criminal matters.
3. Advisory Jurisdiction: The power to give advice to the President of India on a question of law or fact which is of public importance, as per Article 143 of the Constitution.
Collegiate Jurisdiction is not a recognized category of jurisdiction for the Supreme Court. The term ‘collegiate’ refers to a body of judges sitting together as a bench (e.g., a division bench or a full bench), rather than a specific type of legal authority or competence to hear certain cases.
Other powers of the Supreme Court include review jurisdiction (reviewing its own judgments), writ jurisdiction (issuing writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights), and the power to transfer cases. However, ‘Collegiate Jurisdiction’ is not among the constitutional or statutory classifications of the Supreme Court’s powers.
