Option of Court to hear parties
AI Assist
Summary
When a court is exercising its revision powers, no party has a right to be heard personally or by a pleader unless the Code explicitly provides otherwise. The revising court may, if it thinks fit, hear any party personally or through a pleader. In short, being heard on revision is discretionary with the court, not an automatic right of the party.
Example
Priya’s case is under revision in the sessions court after a magistrate’s order. She cannot insist on being heard in person or through her pleader, but the sessions court may allow her or her pleader to be heard if it thinks fit.
Bare Act
Enacted textSave as otherwise expressly provided by this Code no party has any right to be heard either personally or by pleader 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 pleader.
