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.
