What are the provisions in the constitution regarding filing of SLP ?

Special Leave Petitions in India (SLP) holds a prime place in the Judiciary of India, and has been provided as a 'residual power' in the hands of Supreme Court of India to be exercised only in cases when any substantial question of law is involved, or gross injustice has been done. It provides the aggrieved party a special permission to be heard in Apex court in appeal against any judgment or order of any Court/tribunal in the territory of India. Article 136 of the Constitution confers upon the Supreme Court power to grant special leave to appeal. The Article lays down: '(1) Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter, the Supreme Court may, in its discretion, grant special leave to appeal from any judgement, decree, determination, sentence or order in any cause or matter passed or made by any Court or tribunal in the territory of India. (2) Nothing in clause (1) shall apply to any judgement, determination, sentence or order passed or made by any Court or tribunal constituted by or under any law relating to the Armed Forces'. Section 112 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 keeps the powers of the Supreme Court under Article 136 of the Constitution to grant special leave to appeal from any judgement, decree, determination, sentence or order in any cause or matter passed or made by any Court or tribunal in the territory of India, beyond the scope of the provisions of the Code. Special Leave Petition (SLP) to the Supreme Court under Article 136 In suitable cases, where some arguable questions, mostly on legal points are involved, the Constitution confers under Article 136 wide discretionary powers on the Supreme Court to entertain appeals even in cases where an appeal is not otherwise provided for. But so far as questions of fact, as distinct from questions of law, is concerned, it is only in rare or exceptional cases that the Supreme Court interferes and that too when finding of the High Court or the lower Court is such that it shocks the conscience of the court.
