CONCLUSION
The provisions for reference, review and revision provided under the
Code of Civil Procedure are different ways by which the court can work
more efficiently for fairness of justice system even when there is no
provision of appeal.
Whenever a matter is decided is the Court and the judge passes a decree
or order then there might be circumstances where there has been any
mistake or error, or a party is aggrieved by the order or decree or, there
can also be circumstances where the subordinate court is doubtful on
such question of law. And, a general rule once a judgement is
pronounced it cannot be altered by the same court.
Where the reference is sought by the subordinate court itself when there
is a doubt on the question of law to the High Court, revisional power is
exercised when there is a jurisdictional error by the subordinate court.
The power of review is vested in the subordinate court itself which has
passed the decree or order.
The process of Review, reference and revision are also very different
from Appeal or Second appeal. The subordinate court can seek reference
from the High Court on its own but for review or revision, an application
is required to be filed. So, all three procedures have different grounds,
conditions and procedures.
