(ii) amend or discharge the probation order.
(3) When a juvenile court has remanded a child or young person for information to be obtained about him, any juvenile court may-

(1) If a child or young person is found guilty of an offence other than homicide by any court other than a juvenile court, the court shall, unless satisfied that it would be undesirable to do so, remit the case to a juvenile court; and where any such case is so remitted the offender shall be brought before the juvenile court accordingly, and that court may deal with him in any way in which it might have dealt with him if he had been tried and found guilty by that court.
(2) Where any case is so remitted-
(a) the offender shall have the same right of appeal against any order of the juvenile court to which the case is remitted as if he had been found guilty by that court, but shall have no right of appeal against the order of remission; and
(b) any appeal against the finding of guilt shall be made in accordance with the provisions for appeal against the finding of the remitting court and the time within which such appeal shall be made shall run from the date of the final order of the juvenile court to which the case was remitted.
(3) A court by which an order remitting a case to a juvenile court is made under this section may give such directions as appear to be necessary for the custody of the offender or for his release on bail until he can be brought before the juvenile court, and shall cause to be transmitted to the juvenile court a certificate setting out the nature of the offence and stating that the offender has been found guilty thereof, and that the case has been remitted for the purpose of being dealt with under this section.
