Discussion
An accused is extradited for a particular crime and the country which gets back the criminal is entitled to prosecute that person only for the crime for which he was extradited. This is known as ............ .
Answer: A
This is the rule of speciality.
Under the rule of speciality, a person extradited may be tried by the requesting state only for the offence for which extradition was granted, not for other offences committed before surrender, unless the surrendering state consents. Section 21 of India's Extradition Act, 1962 embodies it.
Double criminality is a different rule: the act must be a crime in both the requesting and the requested state. Rendition is a general term for transferring a person, and 'rule of prosecutor' is not a recognised rule of extradition.
