Generally, the limitation period for filing a Civil Appeal to the Supreme Court from a High Court order is 90 days from the date of the order.

For a Criminal Appeal, the time limit is 30 days from the date of the order.

Orders uploaded on the High Court's official website are considered to have legitimacy and can be used in court, similar to certified copies, without needing to obtain a certified copy from the High Court department.

 The time taken to obtain a certified copy of the order is excluded from the period of limitation for filing the appeal.

In some circumstances, the court may allow the memorandum of appeal to be filed without a certified copy, subject to an undertaking to file the certified copy later. 

The appeal against dismissal of a Civil Revision Petition (CRP) by the Andhra Pradesh High Court must be filed before the Supreme Court as a Special Leave Petition (SLP) within 90 days from the date of the High Court order.

However, the period spent obtaining a certified copy of the dismissal order is excluded from this 90-day limitation. The clock starts from the date of the High Court’s dismissal order, but time taken to receive the certified copy is not counted, so apply for the certified copy at the earliest.

A certified copy of the order is mandatory for filing an SLP in the Supreme Court—the uploaded order on the High Court website or an uncertified online copy is not sufficient. Filing with only the website copy will lead to rejection or delay in the Supreme Court registry.

• Only after you have the certified copy can the SLP be properly filed.

Sir/Madam, 

These cases are very common in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. As per Hon'ble Supreme Court rules, only an Advocate-on-Record (AOR) is authorized to file petitions, pleadings, and other documents and to appear as the official representative for a party before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. My team is dealing with various such matters. The copy uploaded on the website is sufficient to file the Special Leave Petition (SLP). Application seeking exemption from filing the certified copy of the order/judgement can be filed along the SLP if the certified copy is not available. 

Detailed discussion is required with complete documents.

You may contact my secretary to connect with me.
