92ACommittal for sentence for indictable offence tried

92A Committal for sentence for indictable offence tried summarily (1) On the summary conviction of a person charged with an indictable offence, the court may, if it appears to it that because of the character and antecedents of the person it is desirable that sentence be passed on the person by the Supreme Court, commit the person for sentence to the sittings of the Supreme Court that the court directs. (2) If the court commits a person for sentence under subsection (1), the court must–– (a) deal with the person in the same way as a person who is committed for trial under section 94 (1) (b) (Discharge or committal for trial); and (b) if the person has been charged with a back-up or related offence—deal with the back-up or related offence in accordance with section 94 (2). (3) The Supreme Court has the same powers of sentencing or otherwise dealing with a person committed for sentence under this section as it would have had if the person had been convicted in that court. (4) This section does not apply to the summary conviction of a person charged with an indictable offence if the case was dealt with summarily under the Crimes Act, section 374 (Summary disposal of certain cases at prosecutor’s election).
