24 Rules and orders under the Foretgn Jurisdiction and Extradition Act, as to issue of
25 warrants and treatment of prisoners.
26 No. 31-J., dated the 12th March, 1875.—In extrcise of the powers conferred on him by sections
27 18 and 15 of Act XI of 1872,(?) and of all other powers enabling him in this behalf,(3) the Governor
28 General in Council is pleased to make the following rules :—=
29 1. The Political Agent shall not issue a warrant, under section 1) of the Act, in any case which
30 is provided for by ‘I'renty, if the Native State expresaly desire to abide by the procedure of the
31 Treaty, nor in any case in which applicatfon for surrender is made under section 14 to the Governor
32 General in Council or any Local Government.
33 2. The Political Agent shall not issue a warrant, under section 11, except on a request preferred
34 to him in writing by, or by the authority of, the person for the time being administering the execu-
35 tive Government of the Native State at which he is the British representative, and on the under-
36 standing that the provisions of Act XI of 1872 and of these rules are to apply to the case.
37 3. If the accused be a ‘British subject, the Political Agent shall, before issuing such a warrant,
38 consider whether he ought not to certify the case as one for trial in British India, and he shall, instead
39 of issuing a warrant, so certify the tase, if he is satisfied that the interests of justice and the con-
40 venience of witnesses can be better served by the trial being held in British India than in the
41 Native State.
42 4, The Political Agent shall in all cases, before issuing a warrant under section 11, satisfy him-
43 avlf, by preliminary enquiry, that there is a premd facie case against the accused, and that the
44 charge is not prompted by political motives.-
45 (*)5. If the person surrendered under the warrant of a Political Agent, issued under section 11,
46 be not a British subject ; or, if such person being a British subject, the Courts of the State, either
47 by custom or by the express recognition of the Governor General in Council, try Native British
48 subjects surrendered to them by extradition, and the Political Agent, after hearing the statement,
49 if any, of the accused and making such further enquiry as he may deem necessary, is still satisfied
50 that there is a primd facie case against the accused, and that the charge is not prompted by political
51 motives, the Political Agent shall make over the accused to be tried by the ae ee Courts of the
52 State in which the offence was committed : provided that the Courts of the State have, by custom
53 or recognition as aforesaid, power to inflict the punishment which may be inflicted under the Indian
54 Penal Code for the offence with which the accused person is charged.
55 1) As to Baluchistan, see Pt. IX, infra, F: 161.
56 3) See now Act XX1 of 1879, as. $° 13 and 18,
57 8) In apite of thia reference to ** other powers,’’ these Rules have been classified asa British-Indian Enactment, because
58 they appear, in so far as they extend to Native territory, to be of the nature of instructions to litical Agents, s.¢., British
59 subjects.
