Substantial question of law determines admissibility of appeals to the High Court and confines scope of hearing and decision. Appeals from State or Area Benches of the Appellate Tribunal to the High Court require the High Court to be satisfied that a substantial question of law is involved. The High Court formulates that question, confines the hearing to it (while permitting respondents to contest its existence), decides the question with reasons, and may award costs. It may also determine issues undetermined or wrongly decided by the Tribunal due to that question. Appeals are heard by a Bench of at least two Judges and decided by their majority; lack of majority triggers rehearing on the point. Certified copies give effect to judgments, and the Code of Civil Procedure applies as far as may be.
