Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Section 469
Saving
(1) Nothing in section 466 or section 467 shall be held to excuse any person from any part of the punishment to which he is liable upon his former or subsequent conviction.
(2) When an award of imprisonment in default of payment of a fine is annexed to a substantive sentence of imprisonment and the person undergoing the sentence is after its execution to undergo a further substantive sentence or further substantive sentences of imprisonment, effect shall not be given to the award of imprisonment in default of payment of the fine until the person has undergone the further sentence or sentences.
Why this exists
This is a clarifying, clean-up provision. It makes sure the sequencing rules in the surrounding sections don't accidentally let anyone dodge part of their punishment, and it fixes the order in which multiple sentences apply when a fine-default term overlaps with other jail terms.
