Section 10
When consent of the Minister is necessary
Where a fugitive criminal has been returned to a country and the country concerned intends to try him for an extradition offence committed prior to his return other than that for which he was extradited, or to extradite him to another country for trial or punishment for any other offence, it shall make a request for the consent of the Minister through its diplomatic representative and such request shall be accompanied by all relevant information and documents in respect thereof.
(2)
The Minister may call for any additional information or documents as he may require in order that he may be satisfied that the request for his consent under subsection (1) is consistent with the provisions of this Act.
(3)
The Minister shall not give his consent under subsection (1)
if he has reasonable grounds for believing that the offence to which the request for consent relates could have been charged prior to the return of such fugitive criminal if due diligence had been exercised.
