The Balochistan High Court's judgments portal listed a short order in Criminal Revision Application No. 25 of 2026 — Ayaz Khan son of Nasrullah versus Sultan Muhammad and others — announced on 01 October 2026 by Hon'ble Justice Iqbal Ahmed Kasi. Criminal revisions invoke the High Court's power under sections 435/439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to examine the correctness, legality, or propriety of any finding, sentence, or order of a subordinate criminal court.
Revision in criminal cases is typically filed against interlocutory or final orders of magistrates and sessions courts — for example, orders framing or refusing to frame charges, orders on bail-adjacent applications, or orders summoning or discharging accused persons. Like its civil cousin, criminal revision is supervisory, not appellate: the High Court looks for illegality or material irregularity, not a different reading of the evidence.
A short order in a revision often records an immediate direction — for instance, calling for the trial court's record, staying further proceedings pending examination, or disposing of the revision where the defect is apparent on the face of the order. Because short orders are brief by design, the detailed reasoning, where the court considers it necessary, follows in the full judgment.
For criminal litigants, the practical point is timing: revision must be filed promptly against the impugned order, and the grounds must identify a concrete illegality rather than a general grievance with the outcome. The operative outcome of this particular revision is pending verification from the certified order text, and this entry will be updated once the court's directions are confirmed.
