(5) Where under this Code an appeal lies but an application for revision has been made to the High Court by any person and the High Court is satisfied that such application was made under the erroneous belief that no appeal lies thereto and that it is necessary in the interests of justice so to do, the High Court may treat the application for revision as a petition of appeal and deal with the same accordingly..




 

An Appeal is a petition to a higher court due an error of law or arising out of the decision by the lower court.
If the Appeal succeeds, the appeal ruling takes precedence over the lower judgment.
A revision does not involve a higher court and is undertaken by the same court that gave the decision. It is not a substitute for an Appeal

sir,

simple i will tell you in appeal there is reapperation of evidence chane is there but in the revision the scope of the reappreciation of evidence is not there
