Explanation

The Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article 131 extends to disputes between the Government of India and one or more states, or between two or more states themselves. Civil matters, criminal cases, and disputes between private citizens do not fall under original jurisdiction - they must go through lower courts first.
