Section 46
SEC. 46. Persons arrested to be promptly brought before a court—Preliminary investigations in Municipal Court and Court of First Instance.—Every person arrested shall, without unnecessary delay, be brought before the Municipal Court, or the Court of First Instance for preliminary hearing, release on bail, trial. In cases triable in the Municipal Court the defendant shall not be entitled as of right to a preliminary examination, except a summary one to enable the court to fix the bail, in any case where the prosecution announces itself ready and is ready for trial within three days, not including Sundays, after the request for an examination is presented. In cases triable only in the Court of First Instance the defendant shall not be entitled as of right to a preliminary investigation in any case where the fiscal of the city, after a due investigation of the facts, shall have presented an information against him in proper form. But the Court of First Instance may make such summary investigation into the case as it may deem necessary to enable it to fix the bail or to determine whether the offense is bailable.
