Comparative Analysis: Review, Revision, and Appeal
Subject Matter | Review | Revision | Appeal |
1. Definition | A review refers to the judicial re-examination of a case by the same court, conducted under specifically prescribed and limited grounds. | A revision is a discretionary supervisory remedy exercised by a higher court to correct jurisdictional errors or miscarriage of justice. | An appeal entails a statutory right to escalate a case from a lower court to a higher court, aimed at re-evaluating the sustainability of the judgment. |
2. Statutory Provision | Governed under Section 114 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC). | Governed under Section 115 of the CPC. | Encompassed within Sections 96 to 112 of the CPC. |
3. Procedural Order | Regulated by Order XLVII of the CPC, 1908. | No specific procedural order is laid down in the CPC regarding revision. | Governed by Orders XLI to XLV of the CPC, 1908. |
4. Nature of Proceedings | Not a continuation of the original proceedings; it is confined to rectification of errors apparent on the face of the record. | Also not a continuation of the original proceedings; intended to supervise and correct jurisdictional or legal irregularities. | A continuation of the original judicial proceedings, extending to the merits of the case. |
5. Scope of Consideration | Review is limited strictly to questions of law and manifest errors on record. | Revision is confined solely to questions of law, particularly jurisdictional errors. | Appeal may address both questions of fact and law, offering a broader scope of scrutiny. |
6. Jurisdiction of Court | The power of review lies with the same court which originally passed the order or decree. | The power of revision is vested in the superior court to that which rendered the original decision. | The appellate jurisdiction lies with a superior court, generally the next higher forum in the judicial hierarchy. |
