The Suppression of Terrorism Act 1978 (Application of Provisions) (India) Order 1993

2.  The provisions of the Suppression of Terrorism Act 1978(1) and section 24(1) (a) and (2) (a) of the Extradition Act 1989 shall apply in relation to India as they apply in relation to a convention country.

(1)

The power in section 5(1)(i) of the 1978 Act enables the Secretary of State to direct in the case of a designated Commonwealth country that all or any of the provisions of that Act which would otherwise apply only in relation to convention countries shall apply in relation to that country as they apply in relation to a convention country. By reason of the repeal of section 3 of the 1978 Act (extraditable offences) by section 37(1) of the Extradition Act 1989 (c. 33), there is now no provision of the 1978 Act applying in relation to countries other than convention countries (although sections 1 and 2 apply only in relation to the Republic of Ireland, which became a convention country by virtue of S. I.1989/2210).
