Dear Mohammed,

pp.x can be run after pw.x (scf or nscf calculations are both ok).

If you look at the LAST pw.x run, point is the k-point index in that run, band
the band index.

An example: you have run an nscf calculation, along a given path in the first 
Brillouin zone,
for band structure plot. Imagine that Gamma point is the n-th in the list of 
k-points, and that
you want to visualise the charge density of the valence band, the latter 
corresponding to the m-th
eigenvalue. In this case you set:

kpoint = n
kband = m

You can run pp.x in this mode also after an scf calculation if the k-point you 
are interested in is included
in the k-point grid use by pp.x to sample the first Brillouin zone.
