Dispute between two or more states is subject to ___________ jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Original Jurisdiction.
· The Supreme Court of India has original jurisdiction in any dispute between the Government of India and one or more states, or between two or more states.
· This is provided under Article 131 of the Indian Constitution.
· Under this jurisdiction, the Supreme Court can hear cases that involve the interpretation of the Constitution or any other legal matter arising directly between the states or the Union and the states.
· This jurisdiction is unique because the Supreme Court acts as the first and only court to hear such disputes, without the need for the matter to be heard by lower courts first.
