Appellate & Revisional Jurisdiction – Distinction

Revision is:  

  (i) Where Court has exercised jurisdiction not vested in it.
  (ii) Where Court has not exercised jurisdiction vested in it.
  (iii) or has acted in exercise of its jurisdiction “illegally”  or with “material irregularity”.
In the case (ii) above, jurisdiction can be exercise rightly or wrongly and be corrected in “appeal” only not in “revision”.
Appeal & Revision are different species, appeal is continuation of original suit and has wide scope while “Revision” is limited to some illegality, material irregularity or jurisdictional defect.
