Provisional warrant for apprehension of fugitive criminal.- (1) Any magistrate may issue a provisional warrant for the apprehension of a fugitive criminal from any *[foreign state] to which this Chapter applies who is, or is suspected to be, in or on his way to India, on such information and under such circumstances as would, in his opinion, justify the issue of a warrant, if the offence of which the fugitive criminal is accused or has been convicted had been committed within his jurisdiction and such warrant may be executed accordingly.
