Section 1 of ROP Act : Section 1: Short Title And Commencement

Explanation using Example

For instance, the Repatriation of Prisoners Act, 2003 was designed to allow for the transfer of prisoners between India and other countries with which it has mutual agreements. Imagine a scenario where an Indian citizen is convicted of a crime in Canada and is serving a prison sentence there. Under this Act, once it is in force, the Indian government could facilitate the transfer of this prisoner back to India to serve the remainder of their sentence closer to their family, provided that both Canada and India have an agreement in place and the prisoner consents to the transfer. This Act would have been officially named and brought into effect on a specific date as declared by the Central Government in the Official Gazette.
