Question

what type of appeals does the supreme court hear under its appellate jurisdiction

Answer 1

Heya friend,

------------------------------------------------------------

Appellate jurisdiction is exercised to hear appeals against the decisions of the High Courts and other courts regarding constitutional , civil and criminal cases.

This jurisdiction is applicable to cases involving interpretation of the Constitution , cases sent by the High Courts and the criminal cases where a High Court changes the decision of a lower court and gives a death sentence. The Supreme Court can also review it's own decisions taken earlier.

Appellate jurisdiction is the power of a higher court to review decisions and change outcomes of decisions of lower courts. Most appellate jurisdiction is legislatively created, and may consist of appeals by leave of the appellate court or by right. Depending on the type of case and the decision below, appellate review primarily consists of: an entirely new hearing (a non trial de novo); a hearing where the appellate court gives deference to factual findings of the lower court; or review of particular legal rulings made by the lower court (an appeal on the record).
