Section 12

Whenever the Commissioner is of opinion that it is in the interest of such woman or girl as is referred to in section 11 that such woman or girl should be permitted to leave Brunei, the Commissioner may grant such permission upon being supplied with such photographs as he may re-quire and upon security being given to his satisfaction that the person in whose custody or control such woman or girl appears to be will bring such woman or girl before an officer of Government within such period and at such destination as may be specified in the bond.

The giving of such further security shall not re-lieve any person who furnished the security required by section 11 from any obligation under the conditions of the bond entered into under that section other than the condi-Women and Girls Protection tion relating to departure from Brunei, unless the Commis-sioner obtains fresh security conditioned in the manner spe-cified in section 11.

A certificate under the hand of the officer of

Government referred to in subsection (1) that such woman or girl has not been brought before him shall in any legal proceedings be conclusive evidence to that effect, unless the

Court requires such officer to be called as a witness.
