A Second Appeal is a legal remedy available in civil cases where a party challenges the judgment of the first appellate court before a higher court. Unlike the first appeal, which may involve both questions of fact and law, a second appeal is generally limited to cases involving a substantial question of law.
The provisions relating to second appeals are governed by Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Under this provision, the High Courts of India have the authority to hear second appeals when significant legal issues arise from the judgment of the lower appellate court.
In a second appeal, the High Court primarily examines whether the law has been correctly interpreted and applied by the lower courts. The court may uphold, modify, or set aside the judgment of the first appellate court depending on the merits of the case.
