-Original Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court : This Article deals 
-with the cases in which the Supreme Court will have original jurisdiction. 
-By 'jurisdiction' is meant "the authority which a Court has to decide 
-matters that are litigated before it or to take cognizance of matters pre- 
-sented in a formal way for its decision." (See Halsbury's Laws of 
-England). Under S. 75 of the Australian Constitution, jurisdiction in all 
-matters inter alia ; "between States or between residents of different 
-States or between a State and a resident of another State" is conferred on 
-the High Court of Australia which is the Federal Supreme Court for 
-Australia. Under Article III, S. 1 of the U. S. Constitution, there is a 
-similar provision : " the judicial power shall extend to divergence 
-between two or more States or between a State and citizens of another 
-State or between citizens of different States ". But under the 
-Constitution of India, it will be noted that the original jurisdiction of the 
-Supreme Court is exercisable only 
-(1) between the Government of India and one or more States ; or 
-(2) between the Government of India and any State or States on 
-one side and one or more other States on the other. 
-But this rule is, however, subject to the exceptions mentioned in the

-"The existence or extent of a legal right" : This phrase may be 
-paraphrased as a justiciable right. The test of a matter being justiciable 
-is : "Can it be sustained on any principle of law that can be invoked as 
-applicable ?" The expression 'legal right’ would seem also to include
