functions, the Deputy Commissioner shall, unless he proceeds in accordance with
the provisions of sub-section (2), by order in writing stating the reasons
therefor, constitute another Tribunal in accordance with section 6 and refer
the question to the Tribunal so constituted.

the same is bailable or non-bailable under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898

or for defeating the ends of justice:

order under this section with the reason for making it.

any member of the opposite family or faction to which the bond related.
(3) If, while a bond executed under section
18 is in force, the life of any member of either family or faction is
unlawfully taken or attempted, the Deputy Commissioner may declare the bond of
all or any of the members of the other family or faction alongwith their

until that period expires, or until within that period he furnishes the
required security.
(2) Imprisonment for failure to give
security under section 17 or section 18 may be rigorous or simple, as the
officer requiring the security directs in each case.

or are concerned in the commission of any scheduled offence; or
(b) failed to render, when called upon by the Deputy Commissioner or any
public servant, assistance in their power to discover the offender concerned in
the commission of any scheduled offence; or

any offender or person suspected of having taken part in the commission of a
scheduled offence;
the Deputy Commissioner may, with the previous
sanction of Government, impose any reasonable fine on the male adult
inhabitants of such village or part of a village, or any of them as a whole, as
the case may be, after holding a summary enquiry and affording them an
opportunity of showing cause against the proposed action.
(2) The Deputy Commissioner after such
enquiry as he may deem necessary, shall apportion the fine imposed under
sub-section (1) among the inhabitants of the village or part of the village who
are liable collectively to pay it and such apportionment shall be made
according to his judgement of the respective means of such inhabitants.
(3) A fine imposed under this section shall,
in default of payment, be recoverable as if it were an arrear of land-revenue
due from the inhabitants of the village or part thereof, upon whom the fine is
imposed.

order made, by the Deputy Commissioner under this Ordinance may, within thirty
days of such decision, sentence or order, prefer an appeal to the Commissioner.

this sub-section the day on which the decision, sentence or order sought to be
appealed against was given, passed or made, and the time requisite for

(2) The Commissioner shall not confirm,
modify, alter or set aside any decision, sentence or order appealed against except
after giving the parties an opportunity of being heard.
(3) The Commissioner may, in deciding an
appeal under sub-section (1), exercise all or any of the powers conferred on an
appellate Court by the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (V of 1898), and may
also enhance any sentence:
Provided
that no sentence shall be passed by the Commissioner in such appeal which the
Deputy Commissioner could not have passed under this Ordinance.
(4) The decision of the Commissioner on an
appeal under this section shall be final.
24. Revisions.— (1) Government may, at any stage, call for and
examine the record of any proceedings pending before, or disposed of by, a
Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner or Tribunal for the purpose of satisfying
itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of any decision, sentence
or order given, passed or made, or as to the regularity of any such proceedings
and may when calling for such record, direct that the execution of any sentence
be suspended and, if the accused is in confinement, that he be released on bail
or on his own bond pending the examination of the record:
Provided
that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Government to vary
or set aside a finding of a Tribunal on a question of fact where such finding
has been accepted by the Deputy Commissioner unless it is of opinion that there
has been a material irregularity or defect in the proceedings or that the
proceedings have been so conducted as to occasion a mis-carriage of justice.
(2) Government may, after examining any
record called for under sub-section (1), and giving the parties an opportunity
of being heard, pass such orders as it may think fit:---
Provided
that no sentence shall be passed by Government in the exercise of its powers
under this sub-section which the Deputy Commissioner could not have passed
under this Ordinance.

does not provide for imprisonment in default of payment of the fine, the amount
of the fine shall be recoverable as arrears of land revenue, and any other
sentence including a sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine,
shall be executed in the manner provided for the execution of such sentence
passed by a Court under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (V of 1898).
26. Suspension, remission, etc., of sentences.— Government shall have the same powers of suspension,
remission and commutation in respect of sentences passed under this Ordinance
as it has under sections 401 and 402 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (V
of 1898), in respect of sentences passed under that Code.
27. Appearance of legal practitioners.— In proceedings under this Ordinance before the
Tribunal, the Deputy Commissioner, the Commissioner and Government, the parties
shall be entitled to be represented by a legal practitioner of their choice.
