Appeals and revisions,
where limitation decides first

An appellate practice is governed by two questions asked before the merits: does an appeal lie at all, and was it filed in time. Get either wrong and the argument never happens.

What it applies

The law this practice runs on

AdvocatePro reads a appeals & revisions matter against the provisions that actually decide it.

  • Sections 96, 100 and 115 CPC
  • Appellate and revisional jurisdiction under CrPC and the BNSS
  • Order 41 Rule 27 CPC — additional evidence on appeal
What it checks

Before the matter gets away from you

Appeal or revision

Whether the impugned order is an appealable decree or order, or whether only a revision lies — answered before drafting begins.

Limitation, and condonation

The 30, 60 or 90 day period as applicable, and where it has run, whether the condonation application is watertight rather than hopeful.

What can actually be argued

Perversity in findings of fact, or a substantial question of law for a second appeal. The distinction decides whether there is an appeal worth filing.

The record, and its limits

Argument is confined to the trial court record. Attempts to introduce new material must satisfy Order 41 Rule 27 strictly — in either direction.

What it watches

The dates that decide it

What that looks like day to day

Appeals & Revisions

Orders pulled from the record

Impugned orders and their dates taken from the eCourts record, so limitation is computed from what the court actually recorded.

Appeals & Revisions

Grounds tested before filing

The platform argues the respondent’s position — that an appellate court should not disturb findings of fact — so the grounds are framed to meet it.

Appeals & Revisions

Parties and applications tracked

Necessary parties, condonation, and stay held as steps, because an appeal fails on any one of them.
