A Treatise on Second Appeal (In 2 Volumes)

A Treatise on Second Appeal by Gatte Geeta Nadh is a meticulously researched, two-volume commentary exclusively focused on the jurisprudence and procedural nuances of Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). This authoritative work is built upon comprehensive analysis of landmark and evolving judgments delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, particularly after the Amendment Act No. 104 of 1976, which came into force on 1st February 1977 and significantly altered the legal landscape of second appeals.

This treatise emphasizes the narrowed scope of second appeals-now confined strictly to cases involving a substantial question of law-and offers deep insight into the interpretative framework developed by the Apex Court from 1980 onward.

Key Features:

• Covers nearly all significant Supreme Court decisions related to Section 100 CPC post-1977.
• Thoughtful critique and contextual understanding of how second appeal jurisprudence has evolved.
• Detailed discussion on its meaning, judicial tests and admissibility benchmarks.
• Clearly organized chapters, illustrated with examples, hypothetical scenarios and case laws.
• Step-by-step guidance on how second appeals are initiated, admitted, and adjudicated.
• Designed to aid advocates, judges and law officers dealing with appellate procedures in civil cases.

This treatise is ideal for civil litigation lawyers and appellate practitioners, judges and judicial trainees, law faculty and postgraduate students, as well as researchers specializing in procedural and appellate law.
