  or final order disposing of any judicial proceeding, a Court of Session or
  
  Magistrate of the first class expresses an opinion to the effect that any
  
  witness appearing in such proceeding had knowingly or willfully given false
  
  evidence or had fabricated false evidence with the intention that such evidence
  
  should be used in such proceeding, it or he may, if satisfied that it is
  
  necessary and expedient in the interest of justice that the witness should be
  
  tried summarily for giving or fabricating, as the case may be, false evidence,
  
  take cognizance of the offence and may, after giving the offender a reasonable
  
  opportunity of showing cause why he should not be punished for such offence,
  
  try such offender summarily and sentence him to imprisonment for a term which
  
  may extend to three months, or to fine which may extend to five hundred rupees,
  
  or with both.
  (2) In every such case the Court shall follow, as nearly as may be practicable,

  complaint under section 340 for the offence, where it does not choose to
  
  proceed under this Section.
  (4) Where, after any action is initiated under sub-section (1), it is made to
  
  appear to the Court of Session or Magistrate of the first class that an appeal
  
  or an application for revision has been preferred or filed against the judgment
  
  or order in which the opinion referred to in that sub-section has been
  
  expressed, it or he shall stay further proceedings of the trial until the
  
  disposal of the appeal or the application for revision, as the case may be, and
