The answer is being given on the general understanding of the concept of denial and rejection. The exact advise would depend on the nature of application and applicable laws. Denial generally means that the court has gone into the merits if the case and hasn't been decided solely on preliminary issues. Whereas rejection could be on preliminary issues, for example territorial jurisdiction. If you have taken liberty from the court, you can cure those defects and file again.

Yes, your advocate’s advice appears to be legally sound based on the context of criminal law. In criminal proceedings, the maintainability of a revision or appeal depends entirely on the nature of the court's order. Depends on whether your matter is civil or criminal. If the judge rejected your application on technical grounds or because it was procedurally premature (without dealing with the core merits of the right you claimed), your advocate might be right that a revision petition is not maintainable. Under Section 397(2) of the CrPC (or the corresponding provision of the BNSS), revision powers cannot be exercised against purely interlocutory orders.

Whether revision or appeal is maintainable depends on the nature of the order. Some interlocutory orders are not revisable. Obtain a copy of the order and seek a second opinion if needed as per the concerned provisions of law.

A rejection does not completely close your legal remedies; if the order has caused a miscarriage of justice or impacted a substantial right, it can still be challenged before the High Court by filing a petition under Section 482 of the CrPC (inherent powers) or a constitutional writ under Article 227. You should request the certified copy of the order from your counsel to evaluate if these specific High Court remedies are viable for your case.

without the proceeding section and application, I cannot conclusively say that your advocate is right or wrong. however, assuming he is correct and order cannot be challenged in revision or appeal, you can always file a writ petition against such order.
