What is the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in civil matters?
An appeal can be made to the Supreme Court from any judgment, decree, or final order in a civil proceeding of a High Court, if the High Court certifies that the case involves a substantial question of law of general importance and, in the opinion of the High Court, the question needs to be decided by the Supreme Court. A party appealing to the Supreme Court can also argue that a substantial question of law as to the interpretation of the Constitution has been wrongly decided.
