Section 96 is the primary provision for first appeals from original decrees. It creates a substantive right of appeal from every original decree (with some exceptions). Section 100 deals with second appeals (on substantial questions of law only), Section 104 covers appeals from orders, and Section 115 provides for revision (not appeal) by the High Court. The hierarchy is: S.96 (1st appeal) → S.100 (2nd appeal) → S.115 (revision).
