How a matter reaches the High Court
From the Delhi district courts, matters travel up by appeal or revision; bail and quashing are moved directly before the High Court in appropriate cases. The Court exercises both appellate and original jurisdiction (the latter for high-value commercial and IP suits). Deciding whether a matter belongs before the Delhi district courts, the High Court, or is carried to the Supreme Court is often the first strategic step.
