 (3) The instrument revoking a warrant must be signed by the eligible Judge, the nominated ART member or the chief officer of the law enforcement agency, as the case requires.
 (4) If an eligible Judge or nominated ART member revokes a warrant, he or she must give a copy of the instrument of revocation to the chief officer of the law enforcement agency to which the law enforcement officer to whom the warrant was issued belongs or is seconded.
