Saving of proceedings under other Acts or at common law
23 Saving of proceedings under other Acts or at common law
Nothing in this Act shall prevent any person from being indicted for any act or omission constituting an offence against this Act, or from being liable for any such act or omission under any other Act, or otherwise, to any other or higher penalty or punishment than that provided by this Act: Provided that no person shall be punished twice for the same offence.
If the court before which a person is charged with an offence under this Act is of opinion that proceedings ought to be taken against such person for such offence under some other Act, or otherwise, such court may adjourn the hearing of the case to enable such proceedings to be taken, and such proceedings may thereupon be taken.
