Which one of the following statements is not true regarding the Supreme Court of India ?
A safeguard of the Government
The Supreme Court is a federal court: under Article 131 it has original jurisdiction in disputes between the Union and States or between States.
It is the highest court of appeal in civil, criminal and constitutional matters (Articles 132-134, 136), and it is the guardian of the Constitution and of fundamental rights through judicial review and writs under Article 32.
It is not a safeguard of the Government. The judiciary is independent of the executive; it protects the Constitution and the rights of citizens, and can strike down governmental action. So describing it as a safeguard of the Government is not true.
Hence, the answer is A safeguard of the Government.
