Release from remand on the Attorney - General's direction(1) The Attorney - General must, by written notice in the statutory form, direct a magistrate to order the release from custody of a person remanded under this Division, or the discharge of the recognisances on which bail was granted to the person, as the case requires, if:
(a) where the person was remanded following the receipt of a request for provisional arrest--a request for surrender of the person has not been duly received within 60 days after the day on which the person was arrested and the person does not consent to surrender; or
(b) in any case--after considering the matters mentioned in subsection 23(6), the Attorney - General considers for any other reason that the remand should cease.
(2) The making by a magistrate of an order under subsection
( 1) following a direction by the Attorney - General does not prevent
the person from being arrested and remanded pursuant to a further
request for arrest and surrender of the person received after the making of
the order.
