Explanation by: Deepak Sahoo
The Supreme Court is the highest Court appeal from all courts in India. It hears appeals in

(i) cases involving interpretation of the constitution- civil, Criminal or otherwise (Article 132)

(ii) Civil cases irrespective of any constitutional issue (Article. 133)

(iii) Criminal matters irrespective of any constitutional issue (134). Besides, the Supreme Court may grant special leave to appeal in certain cases (136).

The Supreme Court renders advice on any question of law or fact of public importance as may be referred to it for consideration by the President. The decision of the Supreme Court is binding on all courts within the territory of India. However, the Supreme Court is not bound by its earlier decision it can come to a different decision if it is convinced that it had made an error or harmed the public interest.
