Without prejudice to sections 158 and 159, when in the course of any trial or preliminary inquiry the court has reason to suspect that the accused person is of unsound mind so that the accused person is incapable of making their defence, the court shall inquire into the fact of such unsoundness and for this purpose may receive evidence and may postpone the proceedings and remand the accused person for a medical report.
