Section 107
When new trial may be directed or trial adjourned
of Syariah Courts Criminal Procedure Code
If the new charge or amended charge is such that proceeding immediately with the trial is likely to prejudice the accused or the prosecutor as mentioned in section 106. the Syariah Court may either direct a new trial or adjourn the trial for such period as may be necessary.
Stay of proceedings if prosecution of offence on amended charge requires prior sanction 108.
If the offence stated in the new charge or amended charge is one for the prosecution of which prior sanction is necessary, the case shall not be proceeded with until such sanction is obtained, unless sanction has already been obtained for a prosecution on the same facts as the facts on which the new charge or amended charge is founded.
