A civil suit is decided by a District Court in Pune against Ganesh Traders. Following the usual hierarchy, to which court does the first appeal ordinarily lie?
The appeal ordinarily lies to the Bombay High Court, because District Courts are subordinate to the High Court of their State. The Supreme Court is reached only at a later stage, so it is not the first appellate forum.

Explanation
District Courts function under the control of the High Court of the State. Appeals from their decisions lie to the High Court, which here is the Bombay High Court. The Supreme Court is approached only afterwards, usually with special leave or a certificate. Magistrates deal with criminal matters and are not appellate for civil decrees.
