Clause 59

When any person has in a trial before the High Court in the exercise of its original criminal jurisdiction been convicted of an offence, the Judge may, if he thinks fit, reserve for the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal any question of law which has arisen in the course of the trial of such person and the determination of which would affect the event of the trial.

The person so convicted shall thereupon be remanded to prison or, if the Judge thinks fit, be admitted to bail.

The Court of Criminal Appeal shall review such case, or such part of it as may be necessary, and finally determine the question and thereupon may alter the sentence passed and pass such sentence or give or make such judgment or order as it thinks fit.
