Regular Second Appeals
Regular Second Appeals are filed before the High Court against judgments passed in Regular First Appeals. Such appeals are maintainable only on substantial questions of law, as mandated under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
The High Court does not reappreciate evidence or disturb concurrent findings of fact unless perversity or patent illegality is demonstrated.
Substantial question of law
A legal issue of general importance or affecting the rights of parties substantially.
Incorrect interpretation of law
Erroneous construction or application of statutory or legal principles.
Conflict with settled legal principles
Judgments inconsistent with binding precedents or established jurisprudence.
Perversity in findings
Findings so unreasonable that no judicial authority could have arrived at them.
