Right of suit and right of appeal
Right of suit and right of appeal, there is an inherent right in every person to bring a suit of a civil nature and unless the suit is barred by statute one may, at one's peril, bring a suit of one's choice. It is no answer to a suit, howsoever frivolous to claim, that the law confers no such right to sue. A suit for its maintainability requires no authority of law and it is enough that no statute bars the suit. But the position in regard to appeals is quite the opposite. The right of appeal inheres in no one and therefore an appeal for its maintainability must have the clear authority of law. That explains why the right of appeal is described as a creature of statute, Ganga Bai v. Vijay Kumar, AIR 1974 SC 1126: (1974) 2 SCC 393: (1974) 3 SCR 882....
