s 227Detention of offenders attending in Court

(1)

Any person attending a criminal Court, although not under arrest or upon a summons, may be detained by such Court for the purpose of examination for any offence of which such Court can take cognisance and which, from the evidence, he may appear to have committed, and may be proceeded against as though he had been arrested or summoned.

(2)

When the detention takes place in the course of an inquiry under Chapter XVII, or after a trial has been begun, the proceedings in respect of such person shall be commenced afresh and the witnesses re-heard.
