2 FINAL LAP REVISION FOR PRELIMS SET 14- POLITY & GOVERNANCE 2 Q. 1. Consider the following statements regarding National Court of Appeal 1. The National Court Appeal with regional benches in Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata is meant to act as final court of justice in dealing with appeals from the decisions of the High Courts and tribunals within their region in civil, criminal, labour and revenue matters. 2. A National Court of Appeal is being advocated as an intermediate forum between the Supreme Court and the various high courts of India. 3. The NCA would relieve the Supreme Court of the weight of hearing regular civil and criminal appeals, allowing the court to concentrate on determining only fundamental questions of constitutional importance. Which of the following statements are Incorrect? a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 1 and 3 d. None of the above ANS: None of the above The National Court Appeal with regional benches in Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata is meant to act as final court of justice in dealing with appeals from the decisions of the High Courts and tribunals within their region in civil, criminal, labour and revenue matters. In such a scenario, a much-relieved Supreme Court of India situated in Delhi would only hear matters of constitutional law and public law. A National Court of Appeal is being advocated as an intermediate forum between the Supreme Court and the various high courts of India.

3 FINAL LAP REVISION FOR PRELIMS SET 14- POLITY & GOVERNANCE 3 By taking up the Supreme Court s appeals jurisdiction, the NCA will give the former more time for its primal functions. A National Court of Appeal will help clear the backlog of cases and maintain the Supreme Court s position as the apex court of the land. The NCA would relieve the Supreme Court of the weight of hearing regular civil and criminal appeals, allowing the court to concentrate on determining only fundamental questions of constitutional importance. Additionally, it has been argued that the NCA s regional benches would allow greater access to litigants from remote parts of the country, for whom the distance to New Delhi acts as a grave barrier to justice. If there are areas of law that are particularly unsettled and need clarification, the court of appeal can club them together and send these forward to the Supreme Court. Not only can a number of individual cases be disposed of but areas of law can also be settled and a clear precedent set. Q. 2.
