https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174217 Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was construed to apply to a sentence that was still running when the new Code commenced, even if conviction had occurred earlier, because sentences under the old Code were treated as continuing under the new Code. The statutory set-off was also held to extend to imprisonment in default of payment of fine, while leaving the fine liability intact. Prior appellate reduction of sentence after considering pre-conviction detention did not bar the separate statutory set-off, as no such exception appears in the text. The detention continued after 12 August 1974 was therefore unlawful and immediate release was ordered. en-us Thu, 21 Nov 1974 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 15:35:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174217 Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was construed to apply to a sentence that was still running when the new Code commenced, even if conviction had occurred earlier, because sentences under the old Code were treated as continuing under the new Code.
