\nArticle 136 of the Constitution grants the Supreme Court broad power to grant special leave to appeal from any judgment, decree, determination, sentence, or order passed by any court or tribunal in India. However, Article 136(2) explicitly carves out an exception: “Nothing in clause (1) shall apply to any judgment, determination, sentence or order passed or made by any court or tribunal constituted by or under any law relating to the Armed Forces.” This means the Supreme Court cannot entertain a special leave petition against the decisions of military courts or tribunals.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe special leave petition power of the Supreme Court under Article 136 is exceptionally wide but specifically excludes decisions of courts and tribunals related to the armed forces.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe decisions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) are subject to appeal or special leave petition to the Supreme Court. While legislation may provide for specific appeal routes for tribunal decisions, Article 136 provides an overriding power for the Supreme Court to grant special leave in exceptional circumstances, except for military tribunals.
