Answer ➡ The Supreme Court of India performs many important functions and exercises different types of jurisdiction, such as original, appellate, advisory and supervisory jurisdiction.

Among these are:

● governments Between the two or more states.

● Inter-state water disputes regarding sharing of water and power. B) Appellate Jurisdiction: This jurisdiction is exercised to hear appeals

against the decisions of the High Courts and other courts regarding constitutional, civil and criminal cases. This jurisdiction is applicable to cases involving interpretation of the Constitution, cases sent by the High Courts and the criminal cases where a High Court changes the decision of a lower court and gives a death sentence. The Supreme Court can also review its own decisions taken earlier.

C) Advisory Jurisdiction: It covers Constitutional issues on matters of public importance if the President of India desires to attain the opinion of the Supreme Court. However, any such opinion given by the Supreme Court is not binding on the President.
