Caveat & Caveat emptor are two different things.The former is filed u/s 148A CPC by which the Caveator has a right to be heard before the appellate court passes any order staying the operation of the order appealed from but not on the question whether the appeal will be admitted or not.Caveat emptor is a term used in the case of sale of goods which literally means 'buyer be aware'.
Bench means Judge of the court.
Letters patent appeal arises when an order of a single judge of a HC is appealed in a larger court of two judges of the same HC.
