Substantive vested right An appeal is a continuation of a suit.

6. It is an established principle of law that appeal is not merely a matter of procedure but substantive vested right. An appeal is a continuation of a suit. The institution of a suit carries an implication that all rights of appeal then in force are available to the litigants till the end. Reference may be made to the case laws titled as “Muhammad Saleem v. Muhammad Ali through real mother and 2 others” (2007 MLD 1533) and “Mst. Ghulam Fatima v. Fazal and others” (1986 CLC 2057).
