Appeal to the Supreme Court

AI Assist

Summary

A person may appeal to the Supreme Court from any final decree or order under this Act made by a High Court, or from a decree or order made in original jurisdiction by Judges of a High Court or a Division Court, except a decree nisi. The High Court must declare the case fit for appeal. Only then can the appeal to the Supreme Court proceed.

Example

Priya loses a final property decree in her divorce case in the High Court; the decree is not a decree nisi. She wants to appeal to the Supreme Court. If the High Court declares the case fit for appeal, she may file an appeal to the Supreme Court; if not, she cannot.
