50. Whenever any preliminary investigation or trial is postponed under section 47 or 48, the court may, at any time, resume the preliminary investigation or trial, unless the accused person is detained in pursuance of an order by the Governor given under section 48(3), and require the accused to appear or be brought before such court, when, if the court finds the accused person capable of making that accused person’s defence, the preliminary investigation or trial shall proceed, but if the court considers the accused person still to be incapable of making that accused person’s defence, it shall act as if the accused were brought before it for the first time.
