Option of Court to hear parties

AI Assist

Summary

When a court is exercising its revision powers, parties do not have an automatic right to be heard unless some other provision expressly allows it. The court, however, may in its discretion hear any party personally or through an advocate if it thinks fit. So being heard in revision is optional, not guaranteed.

Example

Priya faces an eviction order and the matter is placed before a court in revision. She has no automatic right to be heard in that revision, but the court may, if it chooses, hear her personally or allow her advocate to argue for her.

Bare Act

Enacted 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.
