https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311954 Section 427 CrPC confers a discretionary power to direct a subsequent sentence to run concurrently with an earlier sentence, and that power is available even where convictions arise from separate cases, distinct offences, or different transactions. The provision contains no universal exclusion for such situations; rather, the sentencing court must decide on the facts, including the nature of the offences, antecedents, and surrounding circumstances. Where the earlier sentence is life imprisonment, concurrency is mandatory under the statutory scheme. The Bombay High Court therefore treated concurrency under Section 427 as a case-by-case sentencing question, not barred simply because the convictions are from different incidents. en-us Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 13:09:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311954 Section 427 CrPC confers a discretionary power to direct a subsequent sentence to run concurrently with an earlier sentence, and that power is available even where convictions arise from separate cases, distinct offences, or different transactions.
