13. Application for habeas corpus.

(3) On any such application made under this section the High Court may, without prejudice to any other jurisdiction of the High Court, order the person committed to be discharged from custody if it appears to the High Court that by reason of—

(b) in the case of a declared Commonwealth or foreign territory—
(i) the passage of time since he is alleged to have committed the extraditable offence or to have become unlawfully at large, as the case may be;
(ii) the accusation against him not having been made in good faith in the interests of justice; or
(iii) any other sufficient cause, it would, having regard to all the circumstances, be unjust or oppressive to return the person.
