 (3) If a person is remanded in custody after making an application for bail, the person cannot make another application for bail during that remand unless there is evidence of a change of circumstances that might justify bail being granted.

 (b) where the transferee has been granted bail—direct a magistrate or eligible Judge to order the discharge of the recognizances on which bail was granted and authorise a specified police officer to take the transferee in custody to appear before a magistrate or eligible Judge in a specified State or Territory.
