A booklet is a court-specific reference for one filing, from first page to last.

The ten parts

Two of these are fixed wording (marked locked), six are always required, and the rest depend on the case.

#	PART	STATUS	PRACTICAL NOTE
1	Index	Required	List every part and annexure with page numbers. The Index is also what your PDF bookmarks should follow.
2	Condonation of delay (S.5 Limitation Act)	Optional	Only if you are late. Explain each stretch of the delay with dates. See the note on condonation.
3	Date and events	Required	A dated chronology of the case from the cause of action to the impugned decree.
4	Memo of revision	Required	The facts, the decree challenged, and why the revision lies.
5	Grounds	Required	One ground to a paragraph, each tied to the record. A revision is not a second appeal on facts, so frame errors of jurisdiction and material irregularity.
6	Prayer	Locked	Standard wording: set aside the decree and grant such other relief as the Court finds fit.
7	Application for stay	Optional	File it when execution is imminent, with the reason it cannot wait.
8	Supporting affidavit	Required	Sworn by the party or a person who knows the facts, matching the memo.
9	Verification	Locked	Standard wording. See the note on why it is written last.
10	Vakalatnama	Required	Signed by the party, with the advocate’s enrolment details.
