Consider the following statements regarding the Supreme Court of India :
(i) Under Articles 132 to 135, appeals from special permission to the Supreme Court can be filed only against judgements, orders, final orders of the High Courts.
(ii) An appeal cannot be filed against an interlocutory order under Article 136.

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Appeal by special leave (special permission) to the Supreme Court is governed by Article 136 of the Constitution of India—not Articles 132 to 135—and lies from any judgment, decree, determination, sentence, or order passed by any court or tribunal in India (except armed-forces courts and tribunals), making statement (i) incorrect. Statement (ii) is also incorrect because the Supreme Court's discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136 extends to interlocutory orders as well as final orders. Thus, (i) and (ii) both are incorrect.
