340. When Public Prosecutor may direct Magistrate’s Court to take further evidence

If the Public Prosecutor is of opinion that a criminal offence is disclosed by the record and that further proceedings should be taken against the accused person, but that the evidence already taken, by reason of being in any particular or respect defective, is not sufficient to afford a foundation for a full and proper trial, he may make in writing an order in the case, signed by himself, requiring the Magistrate’s Court to take such further evidence as is specified or indicated in the order either in the way of examining anew witnesses who have already given their testimony or otherwise to continue the inquiry.[339
