Article 131 of the Schedule of the Limitation Act sets a 90-day limit for filing revisions under the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure from the date of the decree, order, or sentence being challenged. Accordingly, the limitation for revision under section 397 of CrPC and section 399 of CrPC will be 90 days. This means that the petitioner, who is aggrieved by a decision or order of a subordinate criminal court, must file the revision petition within 90 days from the date of the decision or order.

Failure to file the revision petition within this limitation period can have significant consequences. If the petition is filed after the expiration of the 90-day criminal revision limitation period, it may be considered time-barred, and the court may refuse to entertain it.
Individuals seeking to file a criminal revision petition should be aware of this limitation period and adhere to it diligently. Missing the deadline could result in the petition being rejected as time-barred.

It is necessary to submit a Revision Petition within the criminal revision limitation period, i.e., 90 days of the court's decision. An individual has the right to be heard by the Court. In law, there is no absolute right. The state can place reasonable restrictions on their freedom.
