(2)After such a proclamation has been issued, this Act shall, notwithstanding the Self-governing Territories Constitution Act, 1971, apply mutatis mutandis in the self-governing territory concerned until the inquiry into the offence suspected to have been committed and all criminal or civil proceedings arising from such inquiry have been disposed of.
