well i think he can committ the matter to Sessions Court since the expression used is "at any stage of proceedings before signing judgment".

yes he can commit it to court of session as he can commit it anytime before signing the judgement

the magistrate will commit the case to the court of sessions as the offence in his opinion is triable by the court of sessions and since a fresh charge u/s 397 IPC will have to be framed therefore the evidences have also to be taken afresh.
