  12. Power of Special Court with respect to
  
  other offences 
  (1) When trying any offence under this Act, a
  
  Special Court may also try any other offence with which the accused may, under
  
  the Code, be charged at the same trial if the offence is connected with such
  
  other offence.
  (2) If, in the course of any trial of any
  
  offence under this Act it is found that the accused person has committed any
  
  other offence under this Act or under any other law, a Special Court may
  
  convict such person also of such other offence and pass any sentence authorized
  
  by this Act or such other law for the punishment thereof.
  (3) In every inquiry or trial, the proceedings
  
  shall be held as expeditiously as possible and, in particular, where the
  
  examination of witnesses has begun, the same shall be continued from day to day
  
  until all the witnesses in attendance have been examined, and if any Special
  
  Court finds the adjournment of the same beyond the following date to be
  
  necessary, it shall record its reasons for doing so.
