Substantial question of law: High Court may admit appeals from tribunal and limit hearing to that question.

Appeals from State or Area Benches of the Appellate Tribunal to the High Court require satisfaction that a substantial question of law is involved; the High Court may admit such appeals. Appeals are subject to a statutory limitation period with discretionary extension. The High Court formulates the question of law and ordinarily confines the hearing to that question, may decide issues left undetermined or wrongly decided by the Tribunal, hears appeals by a Bench of not less than two judges decided by majority, and applies the Code of Civil Procedure provisions on appeals so far as applicable.
