(1) If the officer who ordered the court martial or any other officer having power to suspend a sentence considers, either upon a perusal of the minutes or upon receiving recommendation from the court that the sentence should be suspended, he shall instead of issuing a committal order, give an order in writing that the sentence is to be suspended until an order of committal is issued.
(2) When an order suspending a court-martial sentence has been made under subregulation (1), the accused shall be -
(i) informed by his Commanding Officer that it has been decided to suspend his sentence, that his case will be reviewed periodically, and that, if his subsequent conduct is such as to justify a remission of the sentence, it will be remitted,
(ii) warned that, if the continuity of his “V.G.” conduct is broken or if his behaviour is in any way unsatisfactory while he is on probation, the sentence may be enforced; and
(iii) released from custody.
(3) In all cases where a sentence passed by court-martial is suspended, the intimation thereof shall be sent immediately to the Chief of the Naval Staff together with a statement of the reasons for suspension of the sentence.
