Yes, there are limitations to the types of disputes that can be heard by the Supreme Court under its original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in any dispute: (a) between the Government of India and one or more States; (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.
