Generally, a criminal revision and an appeal cannot be filed simultaneously against the same order, since Section 397(3) CrPC (Section 442 BNSS) bars a second revision where one revision application has already been decided, and typically an appeal, being a substantive remedy, takes precedence over revision, which is a more limited supervisory remedy. Whether a criminal revision and an appeal can be filed simultaneously depends on the specific order being challenged — some interlocutory orders may only be revisable while final orders carry appeal rights, so choosing the correct remedy at the outset matters enormously. This distinction exists because revision and appeal serve fundamentally different functions — appeal allows a full reconsideration of a case's merits, while revision is a narrower, supervisory check aimed primarily at correcting jurisdictional errors or serious irregularities.

Understanding which remedy applies to your order requires carefully examining the nature of what is being challenged — final judgments of conviction or acquittal typically carry a right of appeal, while many interlocutory or procedural orders passed during the course of trial are only challengeable through revision, since the law generally does not permit piecemeal appeals against every order passed along the way to a final judgment.

Filing the wrong remedy, or attempting both simultaneously without proper legal basis, can result in dismissal and wasted time, and in some cases, can even affect your ability to pursue the correct remedy later if procedural deadlines lapse while pursuing the wrong one. This makes correctly identifying which remedy applies to your specific order one of the most important early decisions in challenging any court order.
