PART VIII - PROCEDURE IN TRIALS BEFORE THE HIGH COURT ON INFORMATION
263 Calling upon the accused
If the accused person is convicted, or if the accused person pleads guilty, it shall be the duty of the Registrar or other officer of the court to ask him whether he has anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him according to law, but the omission so to ask him shall have no effect on the validity of the proceedings.
