Directions as to indictments to be presented in District Court
128 Directions as to indictments to be presented in District Court
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may issue a practice note on behalf of the Supreme Court giving directions to prosecutors with respect to the classes of indictments that are to be presented to the District Court rather than the Supreme Court.
The Chief Justice may exempt a particular indictment from any such direction.
The Supreme Court may reject an indictment—
that is of a class to which any such direction applies, and
that was presented after the direction was given, and
that has not been exempted from the direction by the Chief Justice.
The rejection of an indictment does not preclude the presentation of a further indictment in accordance with any such direction.
