Pakistan law allows transfer of fugitives
New Delhi: Pakistan, which is claiming it has no legal arrangement with India for handing over terror suspects following the Mumbai attacks, is forgetting one of its own Acts which provides for transfer of such people to a country with which it has not signed an extradition treaty.
The Extradition Act, 1972, of Pakistan clearly specifies that Islamabad can hand over anyone accused of terrorism or any other criminal act in a foreign country to that government even if there is no extradition treaty.
The law, enacted on September 24, 1972, underlines that a suspect, sought for any offence by a country with which Pakistan has no extradition treaty, should be “surrendered” irrespective of whether a court in Pakistan has jurisdiction to try that offence. — PTI
