The Supreme Court of the United States has full discretion over the cases reviewed under its appellate jurisdiction. Appellants submit a "petition for a writ of certiorari," asking the Court to consider a case. If the Supreme Court believes the petition has merit, they may grant certiorari (grant cert) and issue a writ of certiorari (order to the lower court to send case records). When the justices grant cert, they are essentially granting permission to the petitioner to bring a case before the Court.

An appellate court will not hear an appeal if certiorari has been granted?

The US Supreme Court is an appellate court under most circumstances. If it grants certiorari, it will hear the case.This question only makes sense if you're trying to determine whether an intermediate appellate court will hear a case from a trial court if the case has been accepted on direct, or expedited, appeal to the Supreme Court. The answer to that question is no. Cases granted certiorari on direct appeal bypass the intermediate appellate court.

What is a special leave petition?

Special leave petition means that you take special permission to be heard in appeal against any High Court/tribunal verdict.

Going to the Supreme Court in appeal should not be considered a matter of right by any one but it is matter of privilege which only the Supreme Court will grant to any individual if there exist an important constitutional or legal issue involved in any case that was not properly interpreted by the concerned High Court against whose judgment you approach the Highest court of the country not otherwise
