Section 83

Except where by this Act it is otherwise expressly provided, all offences under this Act are triable by a District Court or a Magistrate’s Court.

Subject to subsection (3), any District Court or Magistrate’s Court has, despite any provision to the contrary in the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, the jurisdiction to try any offence under this Act and to impose the full punishment in respect of the offence.

Any District Court or Magistrate’s Court has, if it has jurisdiction under the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 to try an offence alleged to have been committed in breach of the basic condition of a remission order specified under section 50S, the power to impose the full enhanced sentence under section 50T for that offence, despite any provision to the contrary in the Criminal Procedure Code 2010.
