Appeal vs. Revision: Key Legal Differences

The document outlines key differences between an appeal and revision in Indian court procedures. An appeal allows parties to challenge questions of law and fact following a decision and has a 14 day time limit, while revision allows courts to address errors of law to prevent miscarriages of justice without a time limit. Parties conduct appeals, while judges conduct revisions examining errors of law that impacted a fair trial. Revisions provide an avenue for convicts when they cannot appeal their conviction directly.
