Order by court for prosecution on report of trustee

Where the Official Receiver or a trustee in a bankruptcy reports to the court that
            in his opinion a bankrupt who has been adjudged bankrupt has been guilty of any offence
            under this Ordinance, or where the court is satisfied upon the representation of any
            creditor or member of the creditors’ committee that there is ground to believe that the
            bankrupt has been guilty of any such offence, the court shall, if it appears to the
            court that there is a reasonable probability that the bankrupt will be convicted and
            that the circumstances are such as to render a prosecution desirable, order that the
            bankrupt be prosecuted for such offence, but no such order shall be a condition
            antecedent to any prosecution under this Ordinance.
