Supreme Court Clarifications

Frequently Asked Questions — Supreme Court

Yes, Article 136 uses the words “any judgment, decree, determination, sentence or order”, so an SLP can be filed against an interim or interlocutory order of a High Court. However, the Supreme Court exercises restraint in interfering with purely discretionary interim orders unless the order causes irreparable prejudice, suffers from jurisdictional error, or decides a vital question of law.

In urgent matters (such as imminent arrest, demolition, or stay of coercive orders), an SLP may be filed with a web-downloaded copy of the impugned order accompanied by an Interlocutory Application seeking exemption from filing the certified copy, while undertaking to place the certified copy on record as soon as it is received.

Time spent in obtaining the certified copy (from the date of application to the date it is ready for delivery) is excluded under Section 12 of the Limitation Act. For any remaining delay, an Application for Condonation of Delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act must accompany the SLP explaining day-to-day sufficient cause.

Under Kunhayammed principles, when the Supreme Court dismisses an SLP in limine at the admission stage without granting leave, the High Court order does not merge with the Supreme Court order, leaving High Court review jurisdiction intact. Once Special Leave is granted, the SLP converts into a Civil or Criminal Appeal.
