PART VIII - PROCEDURE IN TRIALS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT

190 Accused to be called upon to plead

(2) If the accused admits the truth of the information, his admission shall be recorded as nearly as possible in the words used by him or in an English translation of those words and the prosecutor shall then state the details of the offence alleged.

(3) If the accused admits the truth of the details of the offence stated by the prosecutor and they constitute the offence charged, the Court shall record a finding that he is guilty of that offence; if he denies the truth of any of those details, the Court shall record that he has pleaded 'not guilty'.

(4) Where the Court has recorded a finding under this section that an accused is guilty of the offence charged, it shall, after hearing him, or his barrister and solicitor or pleader if any, as to any mitigating circumstances and any evidence thereof which may be advanced, either convict him and pass sentence on, or make an order against, him in accordance with the law or, if authorised by any written law to do so, discharge him without proceeding to conviction.
