Option of Court to hear parties
Full Text
Save as otherwise expressly provided by this Sanhita, no party has any right to be heard either personally or by an advocate before any Court exercising its powers of revision; but the Court may, if it thinks fit, when exercising such powers, hear any party either personally or by an advocate.
Plain English Summary
Clarifies that parties lack a mandatory right to oral hearings in revision cases, though the court retains discretionary authority to permit them.
Key Legal Elements
- Parties have no absolute right to be heard in revision
- Court's discretion to grant an oral hearing
- Consistency with Sections 442(2) requiring hearings for prejudiced parties
- Applicability of Section 444 is subject to other Sanhita provisions
Practical Note
This section (equivalent to Section 403 CrPC) establishes that revision is essentially a review of the record. However, mandatory hearing requirements in specific cases (like Section 442(2)) override this general rule.
