Criminal High Court remedy guide
Which remedy fits the present criminal case?
Short answer: The correct route depends on the order challenged, the court where the matter began, custody status, procedural stage, statutory right of appeal, scope of revisional review and the exact interim relief required. An appeal, revision, quashing petition and bail application are not interchangeable, and filing one does not automatically suspend an investigation, trial, sentence or order.
Criminal revision
A narrower form of scrutiny that may be available for an eligible subordinate-court order. It should not be treated as a substitute for every appeal or trial remedy.
Review the revision guide →FIR or proceeding quashing
An exceptional remedy assessed from the allegations, legal ingredients, procedural record and recognised grounds. A factual denial alone does not determine maintainability.
Review the quashing guide →Bail or interim protection
Custody, arrest risk, earlier bail orders, investigation or trial stage and the substantive proceeding must be reviewed separately. Interim relief is not automatic.
Review interim protection →Records to organise before assessment
