https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=303223 Section 31 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 governs sentencing where a person is convicted of more than one offence at one trial. Where multiple convictions arise from the same transaction, the sentencing court may direct the punishments to run concurrently rather than consecutively, especially where the offences stem from one act and mitigating circumstances support that result. On the stated facts, the convictions were maintained, but the punishment was modified so that the two sentences would operate together. The principle applied is that concurrent sentencing may be granted as consequential relief in the interest of justice when several convictions in one trial arise from a single incident. en-us Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 19:22:19 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=303223 Section 31 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 governs sentencing where a person is convicted of more than one offence at one trial.
