Appeals before the High Court below the prescribed threshold cannot be pursued merely on alleged cascading consequences or a common question of law. The only retained exceptions concern challenges to the constitutional validity of an Act or Rule and findings that a notification, instruction, order, or circular is illegal or ultra vires.
