Discussion
Provisions regarding Commutation of sentence of death have been discussed in Which Section of Indian Penal Code, 1860?
Answer: A
The commutation of a sentence of death is provided for in Section 54 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860: in every case in which a sentence of death has been passed, the appropriate Government may, without the consent of the offender, commute the punishment to any other punishment provided by the Code.
Section 55 is the matching section on the commutation of a sentence of imprisonment for life, and the other options are not on commutation: Section 46 defines death, and Section 48 defines vessel. Section 56, on penal servitude for Europeans, was repealed.
