Ans to the question no. 2

An appeal is a statutory right of the parties whereas revision is the discretionary

power of courts. It Does not mean that courts are bound to accept all appeals .

Everyone has a right to be heard before any order is made or any decree is passed against him.
Similarly, everyone also has a right to appeal against such order or decree if the person believes
that he was heard properly or if the deciding authority ignored material facts or evidence while
determining the issues. However, to facilitate justice and prevent malicious or meritless
prosecution, the Code of Criminal Procedure provides situations where no appeal lies from the
order or judgment of a court in criminal cases.

According to section 404 of CRPC No appeal shall lie from any judgment or order of a
Criminal Court except as provided for by this Code or by any other law for the time being in
force.

In case where the accused person plead guilty and get convicted by the court in that case there
is no right to appeal but the accused can appeal only for the extent or legality of the sentence.
That means if the accused person had confessed his guilt before a court and was convicted on
such confession he cannot appeal against his conviction but can only challenge the extent or
legality of the sentence.

It is provided by section 412 of crpc. But if after pleading guilty, the accused feels that the
sentence passed by the trial court or any other court of the first instance is too harsh, an appeal
can be allowed in such circumstances as well to allow the accused to argue on the extent of the
sentence, i.e. imprisonment or/and fine.

An appeal cannot be taken from a criminal case that is considered petty in the eyes of law For
example in case where the court of session give sentence for only one month or a magistrate
give a fine not more then fifty taka only in that case there is no appeal for this petty cases. In
provision is included in section 413 of the code of criminal procedure.

Again in case of summary trial there is no right to appeal.

According to section 414 of CRPC " Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, there
shall be no appeal by a convicted person in any case tried summarily in which a Magistrate
empowered to act under section 260 passes a sentence of fine not exceeding two hundred Taka
only."

It has already been established that in certain criminal cases, appeals are not allowed by the
Code of Criminal Procedure and there are certain exceptions to this rule as well.

The appeal is a constitutional right for an unsuccessful party in the court. Revision on the other
hand is discretion of the court, meaning it can take place or not.

The appeal is a court hearing like any other while revision is not necessarily heard in the court.

In appeals, the courts have the power to interfere in any way but in revision the influence of
intervention is limited.

There is only one procedure involved in an appeal that is the hearing of the case. In revision,
however, two methods are included, preliminary and final.

An appeal is a continuation of the court proceeding on a certain case while a revision is

checking whether the legal actions were followed in the proceedings.

Ans to the question no 3.a:

according to the above question X has been sentenced to imprisonment for 5 (five) years. The
session court remitted his punishment on certain conditions.

The session court has no power to to remit the punishment of accuse only the government has
the power to remit it.

According to section 401 only the government can suspense or remit the sentence of the accuse
person.

In remission, the duration of the sentence is reduced, without changing the nature of the
sentence.

The procedure followed is given under Section 401 of CrPC. The government would ask the
opinion of the court which gave such a sentence. The court would revert with proper records.
The government can grant or reject the application for remission and suspension if in its view
all the conditions necessary for such a grant are not fulfilled. The power of remission is wholly
an executive action. There is no law as such to question the legality of this action.

According to section 401(1) When any person has been sentenced to punishment for an offence,
the Government may at any time without conditions or upon any conditions which the person
sentenced accepts, suspend the execution of his sentence or remit the whole or any part of the
punishment to which he has been sentenced.

in the above question we notice that the session court has remitted the punishment on some
condition it has no legality because only the government can remit or suspense the
punishment.

Ans to the question no 3b:

When a person is convicted at one trial of two or more offences, the Court may, subject to the
provisions, sentence him for such offences, to the several punishments prescribed therefor
which such Court is competent to inflict; such punishments when consisting of imprisonment to
commence the one after the expiration of the other in such order as the Court may direct, unless

the Court directs that such punishments shall run concurrently. According to482.(1) If the Court
in any case considers that a person accused of any of the offences referred to in section 480 and
committed in its view or presence should be imprisoned otherwise than in default of payment
of fine, or that a fine exceeding two hundred taka should be imposed upon him, or such Court
is for any other reason of opinion that the case should not be disposed of under section 480,
such Court, after recording the facts constituting the offence and the statement of the accused as
hereinbefore provided, may forward the case to a Magistrate having jurisdiction to try the same,
and may require security to be given for the appearance of such accused person before such
Magistrate, or if sufficient security is not given, shall forward such person in custody to such
Magistrate.
