6  Return of persons to the Territory
 (1) Where a person is being detained in a prison in the State under this Act, an authorized person may issue a warrant requiring the person in charge of the prison to deliver the first-mentioned person into the custody of a constable, and requiring the constable into whose custody the person is so delivered to convey him in custody to the Territory, and a person returned to the Territory in pursuance of such a warrant shall be held in custody in the Territory by that constable or some other constable until released, or returned to the State, in accordance with law.
 (2) So long as a person returned to the Territory in pursuance of a warrant under the last preceding sub-section continues to be liable to be kept in custody by virtue of the order or sentence by reason of which he was conveyed to the State, the constable executing the warrant or any other constable may keep the person in custody in the Territory and may return him in custody to the prison in the State, where he shall again be received into custody and dealt with as if he had not been returned to the Territory.
