Section 46: Procedure on arrest of suspect outside division or district of court issuing warrant

(1) Where a warrant of arrest is executed in a State outside the division or district of the court by which it was issued, the suspect shall, unless security is taken under section 45 of this Act, be taken before the court within the division or district in which the arrest was made.
(2) The court shall, if the suspect, on such inquiry as the court considers necessary, appears to be the suspect intended to be arrested by the court which issued the warrant, direct his removal in custody to that court, but if the suspect has been arrested in respect of any matter other than an offence punishable with death and:
(a) is ready and willing to give bail to the satisfaction of the court within the division or district of which he was arrested; or
(b) where a direction had been endorsed under section 45 of this Act on the warrant and the suspect is ready and willing to give the security required by the direction, the court shall take bail or security, as the case may be, and shall forward the recognizance, if such be entered into, to the court, which issued the warrant.
(3) Nothing in this section is deemed to prevent a police officer from taking security under section 30 of this Act.
