Courts also quash proceedings where there is a legal bar, lack of jurisdiction, or settlement between parties in compoundable and appropriate non-compoundable offences.
Criminal revision petitions are filed against interlocutory and final orders passed by subordinate courts where there is a jurisdictional error, procedural irregularity, or miscarriage of justice. This includes challenges to summoning orders, framing of charges, rejection of discharge applications, and other prejudicial orders.

Criminal appeals involve challenges to convictions, acquittals, or sentencing orders passed by trial courts. Appellate advocacy requires a deep understanding of trial records, appreciation of evidence, and identification of legal infirmities such as improper appreciation of evidence, violation of mandatory procedures, or incorrect application of law.
This practice also includes suspension of sentence and grant of bail during pendency of appeal. Representation before the High Court demands a structured legal approach, reliance on authoritative precedents, and strong constitutional reasoning. The objective is to correct judicial errors, uphold fairness, and ensure that criminal law is not used as a tool of harassment or oppression.
