An unfavourable judgement/order or conviction in a Civil or Criminal Court, Tribunal, Forum may have devastating consequences for every person. You are entitled to appeal an adverse ruling under the Code of Criminal Procedure, Administrative Tribunal Act, Consumer Protection Act as well as Code of Civil Procedure, but it is crucial to retain an experienced Lawyer who can recognize appropriate grounds for appeal. Some errors that may be appealed include factual errors, errors in gathering evidence, errors in appreciating the evidence, abuses of authority, and procedural violations.

At LEGIS INDIA SOLICITORS AND ADVOCATES, we do a thorough review of everything that occurred in the case. This includes obtaining any transcripts and reviewing them, obtaining the case file and reviewing all the materials contained within it. During that review we also discover any issues which can be challenged.

Appeals may be filed in High Courts, Tribunals, Forums or Supreme Court. Where an Appeal is to be filed depends on the case and the issues to be appealed. An Appeal which is filed in the wrong Court my resulted in the Appeal being dismissed. 

The most important aspect in the Appellate Process is to draft an appeal with appropriate grounds highlighting all the factual errors, errors in gathering evidence, errors in appreciating the evidence, abuses of authority, biasness of authorities and procedural violations. We always recommend our clients to engage an experienced lawyer for preparation of your appeal as soon as possible because there are certain time limitations within which an appeal has to be filed.
