When a person is brought before a Magistrate and charged with an offence for which they may be tried either by a Court under this Code or by a Court-martial, the Magistrate shall follow such rules and, in appropriate cases, deliver the person, along with a statement of the offence, to the commanding officer of the unit they belong to or to the nearest military, naval, or air force station, for trial by Court-martial.
Every Magistrate, upon receiving a written request from the commanding officer of any unit or body of soldiers, sailors, or airmen stationed at a specific location, shall make every effort to apprehend and secure any person accused of an offence.
A High Court, if it deems necessary, may order that a prisoner detained in any jail within the State be brought before a Court-martial for trial or to be examined regarding any matter pending before the Court-martial."**
