Supreme court matter.

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 06 May 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Respected Experts,

I want to know the clarifications with regard to the following.

1. SLP (Special Leave petition).

In this the Honourable Supreme court granted Status-quo at the time of filing of a case. Now it is coming for hearing. Even if the petitioner have legal points, can it be closed at this stage. The order in SLP is final or not.

2. Leave Granted. What it means.

3. Civil Appeal. (When the SLP converted into Civil Appeal) At what circumstances.

4. So what is difference between SLP and Civil Appeal.

Please clarify my doubt.

SLP means special leave petition. You cant file a case without any substantial question of law involved in it. Thus any case filed in supreme court against the order of High Court will be heard preliminary by Supreme Court and if the court is satisfied that a critical que of law is involved it will grant leave (it is something like permission) granted to hear the case. The decision will be based on the legal issue and stand taken by parties. Civil appeal is the remedy available for parties against an aggrieved judgment.
