Lost a civil suit? The Calcutta High Court gives you the right to appeal. Our experienced civil appeal lawyer files first appeals under Section 96 CPC and second appeals under Section 100 CPC. We identify errors of law, prepare detailed grounds of appeal, and argue for reversal or modification of adverse decrees.
A first appeal lies from original decrees passed by District Courts and subordinate courts. Both questions of fact and law can be raised. Must be filed within 90 days before the Calcutta High Court.
A second appeal lies from appellate decrees only on substantial questions of law. No factual reappreciation is permitted. The High Court must formulate the substantial question of law at admission.
When no appeal lies, a revision petition can be filed before the Calcutta High Court challenging jurisdictional errors, illegal orders, or irregular proceedings of subordinate courts.
While an appeal is pending, we file urgent stay applications to prevent execution of the decree. The court may grant stay on conditions like deposit of the decretal amount or furnishing security.
Appeals from interim orders, orders on applications, and miscellaneous orders under Order 43 Rule 1 CPC. These are critical for protecting your rights during the pendency of the suit.
Applications for review of judgment under Order 47 CPC when an error apparent on the face of the record exists. References to the High Court on substantial questions of law under Section 113 CPC.
Misinterpretation of statutes, incorrect application of legal provisions, and failure to follow binding judicial precedents constitute grounds for appeal.
The trial court may have misread, overlooked, or wrongly assessed evidence. We identify where the court's findings are not supported by the evidence on record.
Violation of natural justice, denial of opportunity to cross-examine, or non-compliance with mandatory procedures can vitiate the decree and warrant reversal.
