Question 7

The High Court feels there has been blatant injustice in a case solved by the lower court and transfers the case to itself to check the judgement. Which jurisdiction is it exercising?

  1. Revisory
  2. Advisory
  3. Original
  4. Appellate
Answer

Revisory

Reason — Revisory Jurisdiction means that the High Court can call for the record of a case which has been decided by a subordinate court. If the High Court feels there has been blatant injustice in a case solved by the lower court, the High Court can review the case and take appropriate action on it.
