https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289833 Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure allows set-off only for detention undergone during investigation, inquiry or trial in the same case in which conviction is recorded. Time spent in judicial custody while a person is already serving sentence in another case is not treated as pre-conviction detention for set-off purposes. The statutory scheme in Sections 31 and 427 of the Code and Section 64 of the Indian Penal Code distinguishes pre-conviction detention from imprisonment after conviction, and also addresses concurrent and consecutive sentences. On that basis, the remand period in the later case could not be counted toward the sentence in that case. en-us Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 25 Aug 2020 12:39:09 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289833 Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure allows set-off only for detention undergone during investigation, inquiry or trial in the same case in which conviction is recorded.
