regarding fraction of imprisonment for life

kuldeep kumar (Querist) 30 June 2011 This query is : Resolved
sec 119 ipc provides for punishment to public servant for offences punishable with death and LI..if offence committed no problem 10 year it is.
but if not commited then 1/4 term of longest imprisonment proided for offence.
MY QUESTION IS HOW SHALL WE CALULATE 1/4 OF LIFE.we will have to see section 57 ipc for fraction of life which is 20 year.
SO 5 YEAR IMPRISONMENT SHALL BE GIVEN TO PUBLIC SERVENT.5 is 1/4 of 20.

i shall be obliged if some expert check me and find me either right or wrong,thanx.

The third class in section 119 if either imprisonment or fine as is provided for the offence or with both. The maximum term of imprisonment divided by fourth. if it is ten years means 2 1/2 years. in your query only 5 years can be imposed.

if it is ten year means 2 1/2. what does it mean

kuldeep kumar (Querist) 30 June 2011
u mean if infact 10 year is given then 2 1/2.
is it upto judge discretion to give him 10 or 20.
we thought till now only 20 shall me given.i got u correctly.
whatever is given shall be deducted by i/4th.
thanx
