The given statement is True.
The Privy Council was a court of appeal. Since establishing the Mayor's Court in India in 1726, the Privy Council has served as an appellate body. Previously, the Privy Council worked through a system of committees and sub-committees. The right to appeal from Indian courts to the Privy Council was granted by the Charter of 1726. According to the Charter, three Mayor's Courts were established in Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. The provision was made for a first appeal from Mayor's Court decisions to the Governor-in-Council in respective provinces and a second appeal to the Privy Council in England.
