Which of the following statements is/are correct?

  1. The Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate water disputes.
  2. The Writ Jurisdiction is both original as well as appellate.

Select the correct option using the codes given below:

A. 1 only 

B. 2 only 

C. Both 1 and 2 

D Neither 1 nor 2

A- It is upto parliament to set up a body or tribunal to deal with them. The supreme court intervention is sought as a special leave to petition and not as a matter of right.

Marked the same. But the answer given was B. Seems like an error. Thanks.

@Nike I think you have to look at both the statements independently. 
Statement 1 is false because " SC has jurisdiction to adjudicate  water disputes irrespective of whether it is brought throught writ petition or by way of appeal". Read this article - https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/sc-judgment-on-120-year-old-cauvery-dispute-today/articleshow/62941364.cms
Statement 2 is True because " SC in its earlier judgements had said that wherever remedy is available  for violation of fundamental rights under a HC, one must approach it for issuance of writs or orders and if it is denied one can approach the SC by appeal demanding issuance of writs.

SF6 is short lived in the atmosphere. The shelf life when used along with some other substance is higher as it is stable and inert.

is judiciary included in art 12 of Constitution?
but it has rule making powers....so can the laws/orders passed by judiciary be held violative of Constitution under article 13??

also judiciary is called quasi- legislative body right?

found one answer on quora of lawyer of SC satisfactory but still wanted views of senior members here.

Please explain in simple and lucid terms.

@Itachi Administrative side of judiciary may come under definition of article 12 but the judicial side doesn't come under the definition of state as you can't file a writ under Article 32 or 226 against judiciary for violation of FR.

Leave exceptions and accept generalized views given in the standard books especially NCERTs. In law matters, until and unless honorable SC with a CONSTITUTIONAL BENCH ANNOUNCES (not just do it) something NEW as future truth, only previous truth shall be accepted. 


So as of now, Laxminkanth view stands true if asked as a general statement. But if upsc clearly add riders like NO MONEY BILL DECISION EVER CHALLENGED IN SC then it should be untrue.

On forum had read once that Whip is mentioned in parliament statute "THE LEADERS AND CHIEF WHIPS OF RECOGNISED PARTIES AND GROUPS IN PARLIAMENT (FACILITIES) ACT, 1998" https://mpa.gov.in/sites/default/files/actwhip.pdf 

What should be the final position? Above ques came today in IASBABA All India open mock-2 and they considered that it is not mentioned anywhere. Please clarify. Thanks

@HarveySpectre Whip is not mentioned anywhere. It is based on the parliamentary conventions. The second statement is taken from Laxmikant. So, answer will be C.

@HarveySpectre  You are right. Whip is mentioned in this 1999 Act. I have read this in Vision Test paper. It is wrongly given in Laxmikant
