Which jurisdiction of the Supreme Court covers disputes between the Union Government and one or more State Governments ?
Exclusive Original Jurisdiction
Article 131 of the Constitution gives the Supreme Court original jurisdiction over cases between the Government of India and one or more States, between the Government of India and a State on one side and other States on the other, and between two or more States.
This jurisdiction is exclusive: such federal cases cannot be filed in any High Court and must begin directly in the Supreme Court.
Writ jurisdiction (Article 32) protects fundamental rights, appellate jurisdiction hears appeals from lower courts, and advisory jurisdiction (Article 143) gives opinions to the President, so none of them covers Centre-State conflicts.
Hence, Exclusive Original Jurisdiction.
