the Attorney General that a resolution of the case requires further development
of the facts, the court may order the circuit court in which the order of
conviction or the adjudication of delinquency was originally entered to conduct
a hearing within 90 days after the order has been issued to certify findings of
fact with respect to such issues as the Court of Appeals shall direct. The
record and certified findings of fact of the circuit court shall be filed in the
Court of Appeals within 30 days after the hearing is concluded. The petitioner
or his attorney of record, the attorney for the Commonwealth and the Attorney
General shall be served a copy of the order stating the specific purpose and
evidence for which the hearing has been ordered.
