Appeals against the judgments of the Supreme Court of India can be made to the Supreme Court itself if the case involves a substantial question of law of general importance, or to the President of India if it involves a matter of constitutional interpretation. In cases where the Supreme Court has given a final judgment or order, any person aggrieved by such judgment or order can file a review petition within 30 days from the date of judgment or order. A curative petition can also be filed in certain exceptional cases where there has been a violation of the principles of natural justice or where the judgment was passed without hearing a party. Apart from these options, a party can also file a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India before the Supreme Court for enforcement of fundamental rights or under Article 136 for special leave to appeal against any order or judgment passed by any court or tribunal in the territory of India.
