(2) The Court or a Judge may, upon application by or on behalf of a Crown Law Officer, make such order for the detention of the appellant or for releasing him on bail pending the hearing of an appeal to the High Court of Australia as the Court or a Judge may think fit and may at any time vary or rescind such order. (3) On the application of any appellant deeming himself wronged by any failure to diligently prosecute such appeal the Court or a Judge may order the immediate execution of the original order of the Court quashing the finding of guilt and may order the appellant's immediate release and the Court may further, if it thinks fit, award him such compensation as appears just.
