404. Power to revise orders made at criminal case disclosure conference

The General Division of the High Court may, on its own motion or on the application of the Public Prosecutor or the accused in any criminal case disclosure conference, call for and examine the record of any criminal case disclosure conference held under Part 9 or 10 before a Magistrate, a District Judge, the Registrar of the State Courts or the Registrar of the Supreme Court to satisfy itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of any order recorded or passed at the criminal case disclosure conference, and as to the regularity of the criminal case disclosure conference.

Any application by the Public Prosecutor or the accused under subsection (1) must be made within 7 days from the date of the order so recorded or passed at the criminal case disclosure conference to which the application relates.

On examining a record under revision in this Division, the General Division of the High Court may affirm, vary or set aside any of the orders made by the Magistrate, District Judge, Registrar of the State Courts or Registrar of the Supreme Court (as the case may be) who presided over the criminal case disclosure conference.

The General Division of the High Court may not proceed under subsection (3) without first giving the parties adversely affected by the General Division of the High Court so proceeding an opportunity of being heard either personally or by advocate.

Where a case is revised under this Division, the General Division of the High Court must certify its decision or order to the Magistrate, District Judge, Registrar of the State Courts or Registrar of the Supreme Court (as the case may be) who recorded or passed the order at the criminal case disclosure conference and that Magistrate, District Judge, Registrar of the State Courts or the Registrar of the Supreme Court (as the case may be) must make the requisite orders to give effect to the decision or order.
