Substantial question of law: High Court may admit appeals and restrict hearing to the formulated legal question.

Appeals to the High Court from the State or Area Benches of the Appellate Tribunal are admitable only if a substantial question of law is involved; the High Court formulates that question and the appeal is heard on it alone (subject to a recorded exception). Appeals must be filed within the prescribed period unless delay is condoned. A Bench of not less than two Judges hears the appeal; the Court must decide the formulated question with reasons, may award costs, determine issues left undecided or wrongly decided by the Tribunal, and effect is given to its judgment on a certified copy.
