Procedure in trials before Tribunals.

(1) A Tribunal may take cognizance of Scheduled Offences without the accused being committed to it for trial and, in trying accused persons, shall follow the procedure prescribed by the Code for the trial of warrant cases by Magistrate instituted on a Police report: Provided that Tribunal shall not be bound to adjourn any trial for any purpose unless such adjournment is in its opinion, necessary in the interest of justice: Provided further that for the purpose of section 275 of the Code, English shall be deemed to be the language of a Tribunal. (2) A Tribunal trying a case under this Act may, with a view to obtaining the evidence of any person supposed to have been directly or indirectly concerned in or privy to a Scheduled offence, tender pardon to such person on condition of his making a full and true disclosure of the whole of the circumstances within his knowledge relating to such offence and to every other person concerned whether as principal or abettor, in the commission thereof, and any pardon so tendered shall, for the purpose of section 308 of the Code, be deemed to have been tendered under section 307 of the Code.
