4. Mullaperiyar Dam issue between Tamil Nadu and Kerala in 2014.

6. Administrative Control of Borra Mutha (Borra Group of villages) between Orissa and Andhra Pradesh in 2010.
7. M.P. Electricity Board dispute between state of Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Union of India in 2011.
8. Instrument of Accession between Princely State of Seraikella (in Orissa) and Union of India in 1951.
9. Godavari River Water Dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra in 2013.

Furthermore, very few cases can be directly filed into Supreme Court unless and until the case involves relief claimed under Article 32 or Article 131 of the Constitution.
In extraordinary circumstances, one can file ‘Contempt Petition’ directly in Supreme Court under Article 129 of the Constitution.
