Section 8:
Powers of Special Courts with respect to other offences.
(1) When trying any scheduled
offence, a Special Court may also try any offence other than the scheduled offence with which the
accused may, under the Code, be charged at the same trial if the offence is connected with the scheduled
offence.
(2) If, in the course of any trial under this Act, it is found that the accused person has committed any
offence, the Special Court may, whether such offence is or is not a scheduled offence, convict such person
of such offence and pass any sentence authorised by law for the punishment thereof.
