Explanation:

Original Jurisdiction is the power of a high court to hear disputes in the first instance, not by way of appeal.
It extends to the following:

• Matters of admiralty, will, marriage, divorce, company laws and contempt of court
• Disputes relating to the election of members of Parliament and state legislatures
• Regarding revenue matter or an act ordered or done in revenue collection
• Enforcement of fundamental rights of citizens.
• Cases ordered to be transferred from a subordinate court involving the interpretation of the Constitution to its own file
• The four high courts (i.e., Kolkata, Bombay, Madras and Delhi High Courts) have original civil jurisdiction in cases of higher value
