Answer: Article 131
Explanation:
Article 131 of the Indian Constitution states: “Original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court: Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Supreme Court shall, to the exclusion of any other court, have original jurisdiction in any dispute:
(a) between the Government of India and one or more States; or
(b) between the Government of India and any State or States on one side and one or more other States on the other; or
(c) between two or more States, if and in so far as the dispute involves any
question (whether of law or fact) on which the existence or extent of a legal right depends.
The Kerala government asserts that the dispute with the central government, concerning implementation of CAA involves “enforcement of legal rights as a State
and as well for the enforcement of the fundamental, statutory, constitutional and other legal rights of the inhabitants of the State of Kerala”.
