(1) When an offender has been sentenced to fine only and to imprisonment in
default of payment of the fine, and the fine is not paid forthwith, the Court may\u2014
(a) order that the fine shall be payable either in full on or before a date not more
than thirty days from the date of the order, or in two or three installments, of which the
first shall be payable on or before a date not more than thirty days from the date of the
order and the other or others at an interval or at intervals, as the case may be, of not
more than thirty days;
(b) suspend the execution of the sentence of imprisonment and release the
offender, on the execution by the offender of a bond, with or without sureties, as the
Court thinks fit, conditioned for his appearance before the Court on the date or dates
on or before which payment of the fine or the installments thereof, as the case may be,
is to be made; and if the amount of the fine or of any installment, as the case may be,
is not realised on or before the latest date on which it is payable under the order, the
Court may direct the sentence of imprisonment to be carried into execution at once.
(2) The provisions of sub-section (1) shall be applicable also in any case in which an
order for the payment of money has been made on non-recovery of which imprisonment
may be awarded and the money is not paid forthwith; and, if the person against whom the
order has been made, on being required to enter into a bond such as is referred to in that
sub-section, fails to do so, the Court may at once pass sentence of imprisonment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
