under this Act to have the conviction against the appellant quashed by order

order, direct that the execution of the order quashing the appellant's
conviction be stayed for such time (not exceeding four days) as the court
thinks fit, and the court or judge thereof shall, subject to the Bail Act 2013, thereupon make such order for the detention of the appellant or
the appellant's return to any former custody as the court or judge thinks fit,
for the time during which such stay has been directed.

judge thereof may, subject to the Bail Act 2013, upon application made by the
