Civil and criminal cases can be appealed in the Supreme Court under which conditions?

Answer»

1. Civil Cases: Originally, it was specified that only those civil cases can be appealed in the Supreme Court in which the amount of compensation was more than Rs. 20,000. But the 20th Amendment of Constitution in 1973 in Article 133 has removed the limitation of 20,000 and now any civil case can be appealed in the Supreme Court.

2. Criminal Cases: Those criminal cases can be appealed in the Supreme Court which fulfill following criteria:

  • A case in which the High Court had given capital punishment to the accused in spite of the fact that the accused was proven innocent by a lower court. 
  • High Court transferred a case from a lower court and announced capital punishment for the accused. 
  • High Court proves that the case is suitable for appeal in the Supreme Court.
