"In any proceeding where the record has been called for by the High Court or comes to its knowledge, the High Court may, at its discretion, exercise any of the powers conferred on a Court of Appeal under sections 386, 389, 390, and 391, or on a Court of Session under section 307. If the Judges composing the Court of revision are equally divided in opinion, the case shall be disposed of as provided by section 392.
No order under this section shall be made to the prejudice of the accused or any other person unless they have had the opportunity to be heard, either personally or by a pleader, in their defence.
This section does not authorize the High Court to convert a finding of acquittal into a conviction.
If an appeal is allowed but no appeal is brought, no revision shall be entertained at the instance of the party who could have appealed.
If an application for revision is made to the High Court by any person under the erroneous belief that no appeal lies, and the High Court is satisfied that it is necessary in the interests of justice, the High Court may treat the revision application as an appeal and deal with it accordingly."
