Article 131 of the Constitution confers exclusive original jurisdiction on the Supreme Court to resolve disputes between the Union and one or more States or between States inter se. Hence such Centre-State disputes are decided under the Court’s original jurisdiction, not its advisory, appellate or a separate ‘constitutional’ jurisdiction.
