The High Court lacks jurisdiction to grant stay of execution pending revision before the Court of Appeal under the cited provisions, as they apply only to appeals from subordinate courts and not to revisions. The applicant, not being a party to the original decree, cannot seek stay of execution, and the execution order was granted in 2013, rendering the application overtaken by events.
