This article applies where before commencement a person, while kept in military, air-force or naval custody without being charged with an offence (within the meaning given by section 75(4) of AA 1955 or AFA 1955 or 47A(4) of NDA 1957), was arrested under section 74 of AA 1955 or AFA 1955 or section 45 of NDA 1957 for another offence.

Paragraph (3) applies if, immediately before commencement, the requirement imposed by section 75A(1) of AA 1955 or AFA 1955 or section 47B(1) of NDA 1957 had not been complied with both in relation to the arrest for that other offence and the original arrest (and accordingly the duty in section 99(1) of AFA 2006 as modified by this Part applies).

Where this paragraph applies, the reference in section 99(2)(a) of AFA 2006 to a service offence for which the person is under arrest includes the offence for which the person was originally arrested.

Where the duty in section 99(3) of AFA 2006 (as modified by this Part) arises, the reference in section 99(4)(a) to a service offence for which the person is under arrest includes the offence for which the person was originally arrested.

In section 99(6) of AFA 2006 the reference to the arrest is to be read as to the arrest for the offence for which the person was originally arrested.

If an application is made under section 101 of AFA 2006 (as modified by this Part) in respect of the person, the reference in section 101(4) to the arrest is to be read as to the arrest for the offence for which the person was originally arrested.

Any reference in section 102(1) to (7) of AFA 2006 to the arrest is to be read as to the arrest for the offence for which the person was originally arrested.
