Consider the following statements about an appeal to the High Court under section 99 of the Code on Social Security, 2020 against an order of the competent authority under Chapter VII:
Statement 1: No appeal lies unless a substantial question of law is involved.
Statement 2: The period of limitation is sixty days from the date of the order.
Statement 3: An appeal lies even where the parties had agreed to abide by the decision of the competent authority.
Which of the statements are correct?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The first proviso to section 99(1) requires "a substantial question of law" (and, except for one class of orders, a minimum amount in dispute), and section 99(2) fixes sixty days as the limitation. Statement 3 is wrong because the second proviso says no appeal lies where the parties "have agreed to abide by the decision" of the competent authority. So only Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
