Frequently Asked

Supreme Court Questions Answered

What is an SLP and when can I file one at the Supreme Court?

A Special Leave Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution allows any person aggrieved by any judgment, decree or order passed by any court or tribunal in India to seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. It is a discretionary remedy. The Supreme Court grants leave only where there is a substantial question of law of general importance, a manifest injustice, or a significant legal error. An SLP should generally be filed within 90 days of the High Court order. Delay can be condoned with sufficient cause.

How long does an SLP take at the Supreme Court of India?

After filing, the SLP is listed for admission before a two-judge bench. The bench either dismisses it, issues notice or converts it to a civil appeal. Once admitted, the matter can take 2 to 8 years for final disposal. However, a stay application at the admission stage can be heard quickly, and the Supreme Court regularly grants stays in meritorious matters on the first hearing. Active listing management by your Supreme Court advocate is critical to ensuring the matter is not left dormant on the board.

What is the difference between an SLP and a regular appeal to the Supreme Court?

An SLP under Article 136 is discretionary. The court decides whether to grant leave at the admission stage. A regular appeal as of right arises under Articles 132, 133 or 134 where the High Court has certified the case as fit for Supreme Court appeal. In practice, the vast majority of Supreme Court matters come through the SLP route, as certificates are granted rarely. Once leave is granted in an SLP, it converts into a civil or criminal appeal and is argued on merits.

Can I approach the Supreme Court directly without exhausting the High Court?

Yes, in specific circumstances. Under Article 32, you can directly petition the Supreme Court for enforcement of your fundamental rights without approaching the High Court first. A transfer petition allows consolidation of matters from different High Courts at the Supreme Court. In exceptional emergencies involving fundamental rights, the Supreme Court can be approached at first instance. For ordinary civil and criminal matters, exhausting the High Court is the expected practice and departure from it requires strong justification.
