Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the rules, but is intended to Indicate their general purport).
Rule 9 of the Criminal Appeal Rules provides for the suspension of certain orders made by the trial judge during the time allowed for giving notice of appeal and thereafter until the determination of the appeal if notice is given. The Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap, 221) has been amended to extend the Period of time within which notice of appeal must be given in the case of prisoner of war and internees. This amendment is consequential thereon.
