288. If, after a person has become disqualified under this division, any witness, on whose testimony such person has so become disqualified, be convicted of perjury with respect to such testimony, such person may, by motion, apply to the court, before which such conviction took place, to order that such disqualification shall thenceforth cease and terminate.
The court, upon being satisfied that such disqualification was procured by reason of such perjury, shall grant such application, and such disqualification shall cease and terminate accordingly.
