  (1) Where a special Judge tries any offence
  
  specified in sub-section (1) of section 3, alleged to have been committed by a
  
  public servant in relation to the contravention of any special order referred
  
  to in sub-section (1) of section 12A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 or
  
  of an order referred to in clause (a) of sub-section (2) of that section, then,
  
  notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1) of section 5 of this Act
  
  or section 260 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the special Judge shall
  
  try the offence in a summary way, and the provisions of sections 262 to 265
  
  (both inclusive) of the said Code shall, as far as may be, apply to such trial:
  Provided that, in the case of any conviction in
  
  a summary trial under this section, it shall be lawful for the special Judge to
  
  pass a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year:
  Provided further that when at the commencement
  
  of, or in the course of, a summary trial under this section, it appears to the
  
  special Judge that the nature of the case is such that a sentence of
  
  imprisonment for a term exceeding one year may have to be passed or that it is,
  
  for any other reason, undesirable to try the case summarily, the special Judge
  
  shall, after hearing the parties, record an order to that effect and thereafter
  
  recall any witnesses who may have been examined and proceed to hear or re-hear
  
  the case in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the said Code for the
  
  trial of warrant cases by Magistrates.
  (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
  
  contained in this Act or in the code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, there shall
  
  be no appeal by a convicted person in any case tried summarily under this
  
  section in which the special Judge passes a sentence of imprisonment not
  
  exceeding one month, and of fine not exceeding two thousand rupees whether or
  
  not any order under section 452 of the said Code is made in addition to such
  
  sentence, but an appeal shall lie where any sentence in excess of the aforesaid
  
  limits is passed by the special Judge.
