Criminal Revision Petitions in Chandigarh

Criminal revision is a remedy available to challenge illegal, improper or irregular orders passed by criminal courts. Revision jurisdiction is exercised by Sessions Courts and High Courts.

Unlike appeals, revision petitions are generally filed to correct jurisdictional errors or procedural irregularities. Orders such as criminal summons may also be challenged through a summoning order quashing petition, while final judgments are ordinarily examined in criminal appeals.

When is Criminal Revision Filed?

• Against interim orders: Challenging improper procedural directions.
• Against summoning orders: Challenging issuance of process.
• Against charge orders: Challenging framing of charges.
• Against discharge orders: Challenging refusal to discharge.
• Against jurisdictional errors: Challenging illegal exercise of jurisdiction.

Difference Between Appeal and Revision

Appeals involve re-appreciation of evidence whereas revision jurisdiction is limited to examining legality, propriety and correctness of the order.

Revision is typically invoked where appeal is not available.

Criminal Revision Before High Court

Revision petitions may be filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court where jurisdictional errors or serious procedural irregularities are involved.

High Courts exercise supervisory jurisdiction to prevent miscarriage of justice.
