does the supreme court of India has the jurisdiction over the disputes arising in case of an contract where it provides that it would be subjected to Indian Laws. But was signed outside India and had a choice of jurisdiction clause stating that all the disputes shall be subjected to the english courts.

If the parties submit themselves to the jurisdiction of India then Indian Courts shall have jurisdiction over the dispute.
Moreover jurisdiction arises not only from place of signing agreement but from place of cause of action as well.
