Substantial question of law appeals may be admitted and confined to a formulated legal question for focused hearing.

Appeal to High Court is permitted from Appellate Tribunal orders when a substantial question of law arises; the High Court may admit appeals, allow extensions for sufficient cause, formulate the substantial question, and confine the hearing to that question while permitting respondents to contest its existence. The High Court decides the formulated question with reasons, may determine issues left open or wrongly decided by the Tribunal as a result, and appeals are heard by a Bench of multiple Judges with majority opinion prevailing; applicable Civil Procedure Code appeal provisions apply.
