Question

Which is the incorrect statement:
In case of an appeal of civil cases to the Supreme Court of India the following condition must be fulfilled.

• A. The decision appealed against the judgment, decree or final order of a High Court in the territory of India
• B. Such judgment, decree a final order should be given in civil proceeding
• C. A certificate of High Court is needed and decided by the High Court
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

In civil cases, an appeal lies to the supreme Court from any judgement of a high court if the high court certifies-

(1) that the case involves a substantial question of law of general importance; and

(2) that the question needs to be decided by the Supreme Court

Originally, only those civil cases that involved a sum of rupees 20,000 could be appealed before the Supreme Court. But this monetary limit was removed by the Constitutional Amendment.
