Section 111 — [Omitted]
§ 111 once barred certain appeals in the old Privy Council era. It was omitted in 1950, when the Constitution and the new Supreme Court replaced that appellate structure.
Former marginal heading: 111. Bar of certain appeals.
Omitted by the Adaptation of Laws Order, 1950 (the A.O. 1950). The section now reads simply “[Omitted.]”.
In short
Before the Constitution, the highest civil appeal from an Indian High Court lay to His Majesty in Council (the Privy Council), later routed through the Federal Court. The old § 111 barred certain such appeals — closing off the apex appeal in the cases it specified.
When India became a Republic on 26 January 1950, the Supreme Court replaced the Privy Council and Federal Court as the apex court, and appeals to His Majesty in Council were abolished. The Adaptation of Laws Order, 1950 therefore omitted § 111, whose bar belonged to a forum that no longer existed.
Today, appeals to the apex court are governed by § 109 (the High Court certificate) and the Constitution’s Article 133 / Article 136 — so § 111 is spent.
