Section 54.

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 17 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 54
1) Section 54. Commutation of sentence of death.-- In every case in which sentence of death shall have been passed, 3[ the appropriate Government] may, without the consent of the offender, commute the punishment for any other punishment provided by this Code.

Query: so can we say after reading the abovementioned section lines which says

(may, without the consent of the offender, commute the punishment for any other punishment provided by this Code.) the court can so without the consent of the offender charge also punishment other than mentioned punishment mentioned u/s. 54 Clarification needed.

Thanks.
