After commitment (1) After a commitment the Director of Public Prosecutions may, after examining the depositions, file an information before the Magistrate or Intermediate Court for any crime within the jurisdiction of the Magistrate or Intermediate Court. (2) (a) The accused may, before pleading to such information, move a Judge in Chambers for an order staying proceedings on such information. (b) Notice of such application shall be given to the Director of Public Prosecutions. (3) Where the Judge after examining the record of the preliminary inquiry is satisfied that the evidence discloses an offence which the Magistrate or Intermediate Court has no jurisdiction to try, he may order proceedings on such information to be stayed, whereupon the Director of Public Prosecutions may proceed on the commitment as if no such information had been filed.
