Frequently asked questions
Can an appeal be decided quickly?
Timing depends on the court’s listing arrangements, the record and the issues involved. Explain any genuine urgency with supporting documents. Preparation does not guarantee an early hearing or a particular result.
Can new evidence be introduced in a civil appeal?
It is not an automatic right. Where Order XLI rule 27 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies, additional evidence requires the court’s permission on specified grounds, such as wrongful exclusion below, evidence unavailable despite due diligence, or the appellate court’s need for it.
Does filing a civil appeal automatically stop execution?
No. Under Order XLI rule 5, filing an appeal alone does not stay the decree’s execution. Any request for a stay must be assessed separately under the applicable conditions.
Does a criminal appeal automatically release a convicted person?
No. BNSS section 430 provides for a court-ordered suspension of sentence and release pending appeal, subject to its conditions. Older proceedings and special laws require separate checks.
What records are useful for an appellate consultation?
Bring the judgment or order, pleadings, evidence, exhibits and earlier procedural orders. Add a chronology of relevant dates and subsequent steps. The complete record helps distinguish a legal ground of challenge from disagreement with the outcome.
Is there one filing deadline for every appeal?
No universal deadline should be assumed. The remedy, governing law, order and procedural history need individual review. Seek prompt advice and preserve the relevant dates rather than waiting for a general estimate.
