How does the appeal system help correct errors in justice?

Correct answer: A higher court can review the decision of a lower court

Correct answer: A. An appeal gives a person affected by a lower court’s decision an opportunity to ask a higher court to examine it. The higher court may consider whether the facts were assessed properly, whether the law was applied correctly and whether fair procedure was followed. Depending on the case and applicable law, it may uphold the decision, change it or send the matter back for reconsideration. This court hierarchy creates a way to correct possible errors while preserving judicial decision-making. Option B is wrong because an executive minister cannot casually replace a judicial decision. Option C is wrong because voters do not decide court cases. Option D is wrong because the Election Commission manages elections, not criminal or civil appeals. Memory cue: appeal means review by a higher court, not political alteration.
