IPC Section 227 — Violation of condition of remission of punishment

Summary

If a person has been given a conditional reduction of their punishment and they knowingly break any condition of that reduction, they can be punished again. The punishment will be the full original sentence if they have not yet served any part of it. If they have already served part of the original sentence, they will only have to serve the remaining part.

Official Text

Whoever, having accepted any conditional remission of punishment, knowingly violates any condition on which such remission was granted, shall be punished with the punishment to which he was originally sentenced, if he has already suffered no part of that punishment, and if he has suffered any part of that punishment, then with so much of that punishment as he has not already suffered.
