Court order for carrying out forensic procedure on serious indictable offender
(1) A police officer may apply to any court for
an order for the carrying out of a forensic procedure to which this Part
applies on a serious indictable offender who is serving a sentence of
imprisonment in a correctional centre or other place of detention.
(4) A
police officer may make such an application to the court that is sentencing a
serious indictable offender or to any court at a later time.
(5) A court may
order the carrying out of a forensic procedure under this section if satisfied
that the carrying out of the forensic procedure is justified in all the
circumstances.
(7) An order under this section takes effect immediately.
However, any forensic material taken must not (unless the sample is likely to
perish if analysis is delayed) be analysed-- (a) until the expiration of any
appeal period or after the final determination of any appeal in relation to
the serious indictable offence committed by the serious indictable offender
concerned, whichever is the later, or
(b) if the conviction is quashed.
