Abstract

There is a provision for Remission of Sentences of convicted prisoners at Chapter XXXII of The Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 under Section 432 which states that ‘When any person has been sentenced to punishment for an offence, the appropriate Government may, at any time, without conditions or upon any conditions which the person sentenced accepts, suspend the execution of his sentence or remit the whole or any part of the punishment to which he has been sentenced’. The provision of Remission gives a ray of hope to prisoners and offers an opportunity to rebuild their lives afresh within the society.
