Criminal Revision Petition: Challenging Lower Court Orders

A criminal revision petition lets a higher court correct errors of law or procedure in lower court orders. When you cannot appeal but an order is wrong, a Kolkata criminal lawyer files a revision before the Sessions Court or High Court.

When Revisions Are Used

Revision challenges orders on bail, framing of charges, or procedural rulings that prejudice the accused. Unlike an appeal, revision is limited but effective when an appeal route is unavailable.

  • Section 397 CrPC governs criminal revision petition
  • Corrects material errors of law and fact
  • Available when no appeal lies
  • High Court and Sessions Court have revision powers

Building a Revision Case

Your lawyer shows the lower court order suffers from an error affecting the outcome and files the revision within the limitation period.
