Common questions
When would my case go to the High Court rather than a district court?
Where you are challenging government action by writ, seeking quashing of criminal proceedings, appealing a district court decision, filing an arbitration application, or bringing a commercial suit above the pecuniary threshold for the original side.
Can I get bail from the High Court if the Sessions Court refused?
Yes. A fresh bail application lies before the High Court after refusal by the Sessions Court, and this is an ordinary and frequently used route.
