Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Concurrent power of Central Government in death sentences allows central authority to exercise suspension, remission and commutation powers alongside states. Where the State Government holds powers of suspension, remission and commutation under the statutory scheme, those powers may also be exercised by the Central Government specifically in respect of sentences of death, thereby enabling the Central Government to apply suspension, remission and commutation mechanisms ordinarily vested in State executive authority.
