When a person is convicted in one trial for two or more offences, provided, the Court is competent to inflict [in accordance with Section 71 of IPC] punishment to the person for all of the offences he has committed and such sentences to commence one after another or both sentences would go concurrently – such decision to pass such Sentence[s] lies with the Court.

Whereas, if the Court is not competent to inflict punishment on the Accused in total and which exceeds its powers to pass Sentence, it might commit the case before the higher Court for passing bigger Sentence[s] matching to the gravity of offences and as punishment accorded in the IPC.

Otherwise, the Accused shall not be sentenced beyond 14 years. The total punishment shall not exceed twice the quantum of sentence the Court is competent to inflict for single offence.

The Appeal Court shall take successive Sentence [one after another] as one punishment or one Sentence.
