Which Article of the Constitution has the provision of appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court with regards to criminal matters?
Answer: A
The Article is Article 134.
Article 134 gives the Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction in criminal matters from High Court judgments. Article 135 deals with the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, Article 136 with special leave to appeal and Article 137 with review of judgments.
So only Article 134 deals with criminal appeals.
Article 134 gives the Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction in criminal matters, for example when the High Court has reversed an acquittal and sentenced the accused to death. Article 132 covers constitutional questions in civil and criminal cases, and Article 133 covers civil appeals.
