(2) On receipt of the request, the Magistrate shall adjourn the proceeding until such a time as information or charge is filed in the High court, provided that the information shall be filed within a period of thirty days of the date the order granting the request.
(3) The Magistrate shall make the case returnable for a period not exceeding thirty-two days from the date of the grant of the request.
(4) Where at the end of the period of thirty days provided in subsection (2) of this section, the information or charge against the defendant has not been filed at the High Court, the Magistrate shall proceed on the return date to try the charge summarily where he has jurisdiction, or may make an order releasing the defendant on bail pending his arraignment on the information or charge as requested by the law officer.
