6.(1) Subject as hereinafter provided, any person who in any public place or any public meeting place or in any public meeting wears uniform signifying his association with any political organisation or with the promotion of any political object, shall be guilty of an offence: Provided that, if the Inspector General is satisfied that the wearing of any such uniform as aforesaid on any ceremonial anniversary, or other special occasion, will not be likely to involve risk of public disorder, he may, with the consent of the Minister of Home Affairs, by order permit the wearing of such uniform on that occasion either absolutely or subject to such conditions as may be specified in the order. (2) Where any person is charged before any court with an offence under this section, no further proceedings in respect thereof shall be taken against him without the consent of the Attorney-General, [except such as are authorised by section 12 of the Criminal Justice Act 1975], so, however, that if the person is remanded in custody he shall after the expiration of a period of eight days from the date on which he was so remanded, be entitled to be discharged from custody on entering into a recognisance without sureties, unless within that period the Attorney-General has consented to such further proceedings as aforesaid. (3) Any person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month or to a fine not exceeding fifty pounds, or to both such imprisonment and such fine.
