Clause 115

The following provisions of this section shall have effect as respects the suspension of a sentence of imprisonment or detention passed by a subordinate military court or by a disciplinary officer.

It shall be lawful for a subordinate military court or a disciplinary officer when passing a sentence of imprisonment or detention to order that the sentence shall be suspended and the accused shall not in that event be committed to prison or detention barracks.

Where any such sentence is suspended and the offender so sentenced is sentenced for a fresh offence during the period of suspension by a subordinate military court to imprisonment or to detention or by a disciplinary officer to detention then the court or the disciplinary officer may cancel the suspension of the earlier sentence by an order committing the offender to imprisonment or detention, as the case may be, or to detention in the case of a disciplinary officer, and in such an event the court or the disciplinary officer shall direct whether the two sentences are to run concurrently or consecutively.
