In any criminal case and at any stage thereof before judgment, the Public Prosecutor may, either personally or in writing, inform the Court that he intends that the proceedings shall not continue, and thereupon the accused shall be at once discharged in respect of such charges as may be specified, and if he has been committed to prison shall be released or, if on bail, his bond and that of his sureties, if any, shall be discharged.

Such discharge shall not operate as a bar to any subsequent proceedings against him on account of the same facts.
