Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973

Statutory text

(1) Whenever  one  or  more  persons
convicted at the same trial makes or make application to a High Court for revision and any  other person  convicted at
the same trial makes an  application to the Sessions Judge for revision, the High Court shall decide, having regard to the
general  convenience    of  the    parties  and  the  importance  of  the  questions  involved,  which  of  the  two  Courts    should
finally dispose of  the applications  for revision  and when the  High  Court decides that all the applications  for revision
should  be  disposed  of  by    itself,  the  High  Court  shall  direct  that  the  applications  for  revision    pending  before  the
Sessions Judge be transferred to itself and where the High Court decides that it is not necessary for it to dispose of the applications for revision, it shall direct that the applications for revision made to it be transferred to the Sessions Judge.
(2) Whenever any application for revision is transferred to the High Court, that Court shall deal with the same as if it were an application duly made before itself.
(3) Whenever  any  application  for  revision  is  transferred  to  the  Sessions  Judge,  that  Judge  shall  deal  with  the same as if it were an application duly made before himself.
(4) Where  an  application  for  revision  is  transferred  by  the  High  Court  to  the  Sessions  Judge,  no  further
application  for  revision  shall  lie  to  the  High  Court  or  to  any  other  Court  at  the  instance  of  the  person  or  persons whose applications for revision have been disposed of by the Sessions Judge.
