Substantial question of law requirement restricts High Court appeals and limits the hearing to formulated legal issues. Appeals to the High Court lie from State or Area Bench orders only if the Court is satisfied a substantial question of law is involved; appeals must be filed within the prescribed period subject to extension for sufficient cause. The High Court formulates the question of law, confines the hearing to that question while permitting respondents to argue its absence, may consider other substantial legal questions for reasons recorded, and decides or reopens issues left undetermined or wrongly decided by lower benches. Appeals are heard by a Bench of at least two judges with rules for majority dissent, certified-copy effect of judgments, and applicability of the Code of Civil Procedure where appropriate.
