s 256Special finding

(1)

This section applies on an appeal against conviction or acquittal in which the Syariah High Court Judge has made a special finding.

(2)

If the Syariah Appeal Court considers that a wrong conclusion has been arrived at by the Syariah High Court Judge, it may, instead of allowing the appeal, order such conclusion to be recorded as appears to it to be required in law, and pass such sentence in substitution for the sentence passed at the trial as may be authorised by law.
