Statement Of
Jurisdiction
The Supreme Court has original, appellate and advisory
jurisdiction. Its exclusive original jurisdiction extends to any
dispute between the Government of India and one or more
States or between the Government of India and any State or
States on one side and one or more States on the other or
between two or more States, if and insofar as the dispute
involves any question (whether of law or of fact) on which the
existence or extent of a legal right depends.
In addition, Article 32 of the Constitution gives an extensive
original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court in regard to
enforcement of Fundamental Rights. It is empowered to issue
directions, orders or writs, including writs in the nature of
habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and
certiorari to enforce them. The Supreme Court has been
conferred with power to direct transfer of any civil or criminal
case from one State High Court to another State High Court or
from a court subordinate to another state High Court.
The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court can be invoked
by a certificate granted by the High Court concerned under
Article 132(1), 133(1) or 134 of the Constitution in respect of
any judgment, decree or final order of a High Court in both civil
and criminal cases, involving substantial questions of law as to
the interpretation of the Constitution. Appeals also lie to the
