s 110Effect of material error

(1)

If any appellate Syariah Court is of opinion that any person convicted of an offence was misled in his defence by the absence of a charge, or by an error or amendment in the charge, it may direct a new trial to be had on a charge framed in whatever manner it thinks fit.

(2)

If the Syariah Court is of opinion that the facts of the case are such that no valid charge could be preferred against the accused in respect of the facts proved, it shall quash the conviction.
