CHAPTER 3: PUNISHMENTS (PPC 1860)

S.53: PUNISHMENTS

The Punishment to which offenders are liable under the provisions of this Code are:

1. Qisas (punishment);

1997 SCMR 1307

The word Qisas has been defined as punishment by causing similar hurt at the same part of body of the convict as he has caused to the victim or causing his death if he has committed qatl-e-amd in exercise of the right of the victim or wali.

PLD 1998 Pesh. 101

Liability of Qisas is to be established by two competent (A’dil) witnesses and sentence of death as Qisas cannot be imposed unless Court is satisfied having regard to requirement of Tazkiyah-al-Shahood. Sentence of Qisas can be altered to imprisonment for life. Under the Islamic law the sentence of Qisas is not to be executed where even one of the heirs pardons or accepts Diyat at the last moment.

2. Diyat (punishment);

2005 P.Cr.L.J. 1316

It is not a sort of compensation but punishment as defined in S. 53 PPC., thereof, whether in lieu of sentence of imprisonment or otherwise, would not absolve accused from their responsibility to pay amount of compensation as required under Sec. 544A CrPC.

PLD 2010 S.C. 695

The concept of Budal-i-Sulh is totally different from the concept of Diyat inasmuch as provisions of S. 310(5) PPC and the Explanation attached therewith show that Budal-i-Sulh is to be mutually agreed between the parties as a term of Sulh between them. Diyat u/s 53 PPC., is punishment and provisions of S. 299(e) PPC., and S.323 PPC., manifest that amount of Diyat is to be fixed by Court.

3. Arsh (compensation);

The compensation specified to be paid by the offender to the victim or his heirs.

4. Daman (compensation);

It means the compensation determined by Court to be paid by the offender to the victim for causing hurt not liable to Arsh.

5. Ta’zir;

It is a punishment which is not fixed by the legislature but is left to the discretion of the Court. The word Ta’zir is derived from the word Azar which means to prevent, to respect, to reform. It is discretionary punishment to be inflicted for transgression against Allah or against an individual, for which there is neither a fixed punishment not a penance or expiration (Kaffara). It includes chastisement (the act of scolding or punishing someone-physical punishment as a form of discipline), admonition (a firm warning or reprimand), reprimand (a formal expression of disapproval), flogging (beat someone with a whip), imprisonment, fines, etc.

6. Death;

7. Imprisonment for life;

8. Imprisonment which is of two descriptions, namely: (i) Rigorous i.e., with hard labour & (ii) Simple;

9. Forfeiture of property;

10. Fine.

PLD 2008 Lah. 497

So far as a compensation is concerned it is clearly mentioned in S.544-A Cr.P.C. that compensation shall be in addition to any sentence which the Court may impose for the offence, whereof, the person directed to pay compensation has been convicted. Thus, payment of compensation shall be treated separately from the punishment of imprisonment for life or punishment for fine. Thus sentence in lieu of non-payment of compensation under S.544-A Cr.P.C., is separate and in addition to the punishment awarded by the Court and punishment in lieu of non-payment of fine.

PLD 1999 Lah. 262

Court can award imprisonment in addition to punishment of Diyat.

AIR 1972 SC. 1295

Punishment of fine is awarded under PPC. The sentence of fine carried with it the consequences of imprisonment in case the accused fails to pay the fine.

54: COMMUTATION OF SENTENCE OF DEATH

In every case in which sentence of death shall have been passed, the Central Government or the Provincial Government of the Province within which the offender shall have been sentenced, may, without the consent of the offender, commute the punishment for any other punishment provided by this Code.

Proviso #01: Provided that in a case in which sentence of death shall have been passed against an offender convicted for an offence of Qatl, such sentence shall not be commuted without the consent of the heirs of the victims.

55: COMMUTATION OF SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE

In every case in which sentence of imprisonment for life shall have been passed, the Provincial Government of the Province within which the offender shall have been sentenced, may, without the consent of the offender, commute the punishment for imprisonment of either description for a term not exceeding 14-years.

Proviso#01: Provided that in a case in which sentence of imprisonment for life shall have been passed against an offender convicted for an offence punishable under Chapter 16, such punishment shall not be commuted without the consent of the victim, or, as the case may be of his heirs.

Proviso#02: Provided further that in a case in which the sentence of imprisonment for life has been passed against an offender convicted for an offence punishable under Section 254A, 376, 376A, 337, or 337B, or where the principle of fasad-fil-arz attracted such punishment shall not be commuted.

55A: SAVING FOR PRESIDENT’S PREROGATIVE

Nothing in section 54 or section 55 shall derogate from the right of the president to grant pardons (release an offender from the legal consequences of an offence or conviction and often implicitly from blame), reprieves (cancel or postpone the punishment of someone condemned to death), respites (postpone a sentence obligation etc.), or remission (the cancellation of a debt, charge, or penalty) of punishment.

Proviso#01: Provided that such right shall not, without the consent of the victim, or, as the case may be, of the heirs of the victim, be exercised for any sentence awarded under Chapter 16.

56: REPEALED

57: FRACTIONS OF TERMS OF PUNISHMENT

In calculating fractions of terms of punishment (imprisonment) for life shall be reckoned as equivalent to imprisonment for 25-years.

58: OMITTED

59: OMITTED

60: SENTENCE MAY BE (IN CERTAIN CASES OF IMPRISONMENT) WHOLLY OR PARTLY RIGOROUS OR SIMPLE

In every case in which an offender is punishable with imprisonment which may be of either description, it shall be competent to the Court which sentences such offender to direct in the sentence that such imprisonment shall be wholly rigorous, or that such imprisonment shall be wholly simple, or that any part of such imprisonment shall be rigorous and the rest simple.

61: REPEALED

62: REPEALED

63: AMOUNT OF FINE

Where no sum is expressed to which a fine may extend, the amount of fine to which the offender is liable is unlimited, but shall not be excessive.

64: SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINE

Case 1: In every case of an offence punishable with imprisonment as well as fine, in which the offender is sentenced to a fine, whether with or without imprisonment,

Case 2: And in every case of offence punishable with imprisonment or fine, or with fine only, in which the offender is sentenced to a fine.

Sentence: It shall be competent to the Court which sentences such offender to direct by the sentence that in default of payment of the fine, the offender shall suffer imprisonment for a certain term, which imprisonment shall be in excess of any other imprisonment to which he may have been sentenced, or to which he may be liable under a commutation of a sentence.

65: LIMIT TO IMPRISONMENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINE, WHEN IMPRISONMENT AND FINE AWARDABLE

The term for which the Court directs the offender to be imprisoned in default of payment of a fine shall not exceed 1/4^th of the term of imprisonment which is the maximum fixed for the offence, if the offence be punishable with imprisonment as well as fine.

66: DESCRIPTION OF IMPRISONMENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINE

The imprisonment which the Court imposes in default of payment of a fine may be of any description to which the offender might have been sentenced for the offence.

67: IMPRISONMENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINE, WHEN OFFENCE PUNISHABLE WITH FINE ONLY

If the offence be punishable with fine only, the imprisonment which the Court imposes in default of payment of the fine shall be simple, and the term for which the Court directs the offender to be imprisoned, in default of fine, shall not exceed the following scale, that is to say for any term not exceeding:

a) 2months-when the amount of the fine shall not exceed 50 rupees; and for

b) 4months-when the amount shall not exceed 100 rupees, and for

c) 6months-in any other case.

68: IMPRISONMENT TO TERMINATE ON PAYMENT OF FINE

The imprisonment which is imposed in default of payment of a fine shall terminate whenever that fine is either paid or levied by process of law (seize property to satisfy a legal judgment).

69: TERMINATION OF IMPRISONMENT ON PAYMENT OF PROPORTIONAL PART OF FINE

If, before the expiration of the term of imprisonment fixed in default of payment, such a proportion of the fine be paid or levied that the term of imprisonment suffered in default of payment, is not less than proportional to the part of the fine still unpaid, the imprisonment shall terminate.

Explanation-If Johnny was fined Rs. 100 for default of payment of court’s fine, the fine will be divided on the number of months- johnny were to be imprisoned, and within the term of the punishment imposed, if johnny pays the proportionally left fine after suffering the imprisonment than he will be set free. Like Rs. 100 for Four months, at the end of one-month Rs. 75 lefts, at the end of second month RS 50 left. If Johnny pays 75 before the end of first month, he will be released at the end of first month est sq.

70: FINE LEVIABLE WITHIN SIX YEARS OR DURING IMPRISONMENT: DEATH NOT TO DISCHARGE PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY

The fine, or any part thereof which remains unpaid, may be levied at any time within 6years after the passing of the sentence, and if under the sentence, the offender be liable to imprisonment for a longer period than 6years, then at any time previous to the expiration of that period: and the death of the offender does not discharge from the liability any property which would, after his death, be legally liable for this debts.

71: LIMIT OF PUNISHMENT OF OFFENCE MADE UP OF SEVERAL OFFENCES

Where anything which is an offence is made up of parts, any of which parts is itself an offence, the offender shall not be punished with the punishment of more than one of such his offences, unless it be so expressly provided.

a. Where anything is an offence falling within two or more separate definitions of any law in force for the time being by which offences are defined or punished (i.e., assault & criminal force etc.), or

b. Where several acts, of which one or more than one would by itself or themselves constitute an offence, constitute, when combined, a different offence,

The offender shall not be punished with a more severe punishment than the Court which tries him could award for any one of such offences.

Explanations: A gives Z 50-strokes with a stick. Here A may have committed the offence of voluntarily causing hurt to Z by the whole beating, and also by each of the blows which make up the whole beating. If A were liable to punishment for every blow, he might be imprisoned for 50years-one for each blow. But he is liable only to one punishment for the whole beating.

But if, while A is beating Z, Y interferes, and A intentionally strikes Y, here as the blow given to Y is no part of the act whereby A voluntarily causes hurt to Z, A is liable to one punishment for voluntarily causing hurt to Z, and to another for the blow given to Y.

72: PUNISHMENT OF PERSON GUILTY OF ONE OF SEVERAL OFFENCES, THE JUDGMENT STATING THAT IT IS DOUBTFUL OF WHICH

In all cases in which judgment is given that a person is guilty of one of several offences specified in the judgment, but that it is doubtful of which of these offences he is guilty, the offender shall be punished for the offence for which the lowest punishment is provided if the same punishment is not provided for all.

73: SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

Whenever any person is convicted of an offence for which under this code the Court has power to sentence him to rigorous imprisonment, the Court may, by its sentence, order that the offender shall be kept in solitary confinement for any portion or portions of the imprisonment to which he is sentenced, not exceeding 3months in the whole, according to the following scale, that is to say:

A time not exceeding 1month if the term of imprisonment shall not exceed 6months;

A time not exceeding 2months if the term of imprisonment shall exceed 6months & shall not exceed 1year;

A time not exceeding 3months if the term of imprisonment shall exceed 1year.

74: LIMIT OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

In executing a sentence of solitary confinement, such confinement shall in no case exceed 14days at a time, with intervals between the periods of solitary confinement of not less duration than such periods; and when the imprisonment awarded shall exceed 3months, the solitary confinement shall not exceed 7days in any one month of the whole imprisonment awarded, with intervals between the periods of solitary confinement of not less duration than such periods.

75: ENHANCED PUNISHMENT FOR CERTAIN OFFENCES UNDER CHAPTER 12 OR CHAPTER 17 AFTER PREVIOUS CONVICTION

Whover, having been convicted:

(a) By a Court in Pakistan of an offence punishable under Chapter 12 or Chapter 17 of this Code with imprisonment of either description for a term of 3years or upwards,

Shall be guilty of any offence punishable under either of those chapters with like imprisonment for the like term, shall be subject for every such subsequent offence to imprisonment for life, or to imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 10years.
