Full Text
(1) When, in any warrant-case instituted otherwise than on a police report, the accused appears or is brought before a Magistrate, the Magistrate shall proceed to hear the prosecution and take all such evidence as may be produced in support of the prosecution.
(2) The Magistrate may, on the application of the prosecution, issue a summons to any of its witnesses directing him to attend or to produce any document or other thing.
Plain English Summary
Outlines the initial procedure for a warrant-case initiated via a complaint, focusing on hearing the prosecution and recording evidence.
Key Legal Elements
- Specific to warrant-cases instituted otherwise than on a police report (complaint cases)
- Magistrate hears the prosecution upon the accused's appearance
- Magistrate takes all evidence produced in support of the prosecution
- Court can issue summons for witnesses or documents upon prosecution's application
