CPC 1908 § 115 — Revision

Statutory text (English)

(1) A High Court may call for the record of any case which has been decided by
any Court subordinate to that High Court and in which no appeal lies thereto, and if such subordinate Court
appears—
(a) to have exercised a jurisdiction not vested in it by law; or
(b) to have failed to exercise a jurisdiction so vested; or
(c) to have acted in the exercise of its jurisdiction illegally or with material irregularity,
the High Court may make such order in the case as it thinks fit:

Provided that where a person makes an application under this sub-section, he shall, in support of
such application, furnish copies of the plead ings, documents and order of the subordinate Court and the
High Court shall, except for reasons to be recorded, dispose of such application without calling for the
record of the subordinate Court:

Provided further that such application shall be made within ninety days of the decision of the
subordinate Court which shall provide a copy of such decision within three days thereof and the High Court
shall dispose of such application within six months.

(2) A District Court may exercise the powers conferred on the High Court by sub-section

(1) in
respect of any case decided by a Court subordinate to that District Court in which no appeal lies and the
amount or value of the subject-matter whereof does not exceed the limits of the appellate jurisdiction of
the District Court.

(3) If an application under sub-section

(1) in respect of a case within the competence of the District
Court has been made either to the High Court or the District Court, no further such application shall be
made to either of them.

(4) No proceedings in revision shall be entertained by the High Court against an order made under
sub-section

(2) by the District Court.]
