Second appeal on no other grounds
Full Text
No second appeal shall lie except on the ground mentioned in section 100.
Plain English Summary
Section 101 strictly reinforces the jurisdictional exclusivity of Section 100, declaring that no second appeal is maintainable on any grounds whatsoever other than the existence of a substantial question of law.
Key Legal Elements
- Statutory Exclusivity: Confines second appellate maintainability solely to the statutory ground specified in Section 100.
- Bar on Additional/Collateral Grounds: Precludes challenges founded purely on questions of fact, evidence reappraisal, or trivial procedural errors.
Practical Note
Exclusivity of Ground & Judicial Discipline: (1) Rejection of Evidentiary/Factual Pleas: Section 101 operates as a statutory embargo against imaginative attempts to challenge findings of fact or appreciation of evidence under the guise of an appeal. (2) Jurisdictional Gatekeeper: Even if the appellate court below made an erroneous finding of fact, or reached an inference of fact from circumstances, no second appeal lies unless that error constitutes a substantial question of law (*Sir Chunilal V. Mehta*).
