(2) (a) Thereupon if the accused has been committed to prison he shall be again brought before the Magistrate, and if he has been released on bail, and does not appear voluntarily on notice given to him by order of the Magistrate, the Magistrate may issue a warrant for his arrest. (b) In making such further inquiry the Magistrate shall have and may exercise all the powers given by this Act. [Issue 4] D13 – 16 Revised Laws of Mauritius (3) Subject to subsection (4), the commitment already pronounced, and any recognisance already entered into for the appearance of the accused before the Supreme Court, will not be deemed invalid by reason of the inquiry being re-opened.
