ISRoy, Advocate 

dear anand, out of my personal expreience last year in filing an SLP in the Apex Court seeking  leave to file an appeal against an order of the High  Court of Judicatuer at Madras passed   in a civil revision pettion, the jurisdiction of the Supreme court undere Artcile 136 is of two fold- to entertain the alevg to appeal and if elave granted  then your appeal itself is taken on file  for disposal.. Thus if SLP is admitted undre Artcle  136, then notice and saty will be ordered. Else, if dismissed, the appelal is not acepetd. The lower court judgment is still intact. You may still fle a review in tghe high court itself. reda the following case for all details and to know the  difference between SLP and appeal and the consequences  of both.
