(1) Where a court martial finds the accused guilty on any charge, the record of proceedings of the court martial shall be transmitted to the confirming authority for confirmation of the finding and sentence of the court on that charge. (2) A finding of guilty or sentence of a court martial shall not be treated as a finding or sentence of the court until confirmed: provided that this sub-section shall not affect the keeping of the accused in custody pending confirmation, or the operation of sections 90 and 91 or the provisions of this Act as to confirmation or approval.
