Overview
Civil disputes over money, property and contracts are decided by civil courts, with appeals and supervisory jurisdiction lying with the High Court. Interim orders, such as injunctions and stays, often decide the practical outcome long before the final judgment.
The High Court's supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution is available to correct jurisdictional errors by subordinate courts.

How a matter proceeds
Frequently asked questions
A decree was passed against me without my knowledge. What can I do?
An application to set aside the ex parte decree can be filed, generally within 30 days of the decree or of your knowledge of it, showing that you were not duly served or had sufficient cause.
What is an Article 227 petition?
It invokes the High Court's power of superintendence over subordinate courts and tribunals, usually to correct orders passed without jurisdiction or in disregard of law.
Can an interim injunction be appealed?
Yes. An order granting or refusing a temporary injunction is appealable as a civil miscellaneous appeal.
