Complete answer:
The supreme court is a court of record. In Indian constitution article 129 makes the Supreme Court the ‘court of record”.
Article 129 says- Supreme Court to be a court of record. -The Supreme Court shall be a court of record and shall have all the powers of such a court including the power to punish for contempt of itself. As it is an advisory court it hears matters which are referred under constitution by President of India.

The law which is declared by the supreme court becomes binding on all courts within India and also by union and state governments. It protects citizens' constitutional rights and addresses conflicts between different government agencies as well as the central government vs. state governments or state governments vs. another state government in the country. India’s Supreme Court came into being on January 26, 1950, and is based in Tilak Marg, New Delhi. The Indian Supreme Court operated from the House of Parliament until it relocated to the present building.
