Where the magistrate considers the written statements and is not satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to put the accused person on trial, the magistrate shall forthwith order the accused person to be discharged as to the particular charge under inquiry.
A discharge under subsection (1) shall not be a bar to any subsequent charge in relation to the same facts.
Nothing contained in this section shall prevent the court from proceeding either forthwith, or after such adjournment of the inquiry as may seem expedient in the interests of justice, to investigate any other charge upon which the accused person may have been summoned or otherwise brought before the court.
