Explanation:

Any individual, whose fundamental right has been violated, can directly move the Supreme Court for remedy. The High Courts can also issue writs, but the persons whose rights are violated have the
choice of either approaching the High Court or approaching the Supreme Court directly. Original jurisdiction means cases that can be directly considered by the Supreme Court without going to the lower courts before that. The Original Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court establishes it as an umpire in all disputes regarding federal matters. The power to resolve such cases is entrusted to the Supreme Court of India. It is called original jurisdiction because the Supreme Court alone has the power to deal with such cases. Neither the High Courts nor the lower courts can deal with such cases. In this capacity, the Supreme Court not just settles disputes but also interprets the powers of Union and State government as laid down in the Constitution.
