Section 13
Issue of warrants by Magistrate
Where a fugitive criminal is in or suspected of being in or on the way to Malaysia, the Magistrate—
(a)
shall, on receipt of an order made under subsection 12(3), issue a warrant for the apprehension of such fugitive criminal; or
(b)
may, where no order has been made under subsection 12(3), issue a provisional warrant for the apprehension of such fugitive criminal on such information and evidence
14
and under such circumstances as would, in his opinion, justify the issue of a warrant if the offence had been committed or the fugitive criminal convicted in Malaysia.
(2)
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), information contained in an international notice issued by the International Criminal
Police Organisation (INTERPOL) in respect of a fugitive criminal may be considered by the Magistrate in deciding whether a provisional warrant should be issued for the apprehension of a fugitive criminal.
