to require notice of an application to detain
a travel document beyond the initial period
to be given to the former holder; and
:
to specify that a notice to surrender, once served, cannot be withdrawn (the appropriate
manner of seeking a return of travel
documents being provided by new section 17B).
11. Clause 10 inserts two new sections.
Section
17B deals generally with the return of travel documents
surrendered under section 17A. It provides that the former
holder may apply to the Commissioner at any time for the
return of a travel document. The Commissioner may return
the travel document without conditions or with conditions
as to the further surrender of the document at a future
time.
Where the Commissioner refuses to return the travel
document, the former holder may appeal to a magistrate
who may, if he is satisfied that the continued detention
of the travel document would cause unreasonable hardship,
order the return of the travel document. The magistrate
may also impose conditions as to the further surrender
of the document.
Failure by the holder to comply with
a notice or order for further surrender of the travel
document will have the same effect as a failure to comply
with the original notice to surrender. This section
