Clause 79

lt shall be lawful for a disciplinary officer when passing a sentence of detention to order that the sentence shall be suspended and the accused shall not in that event be committed to detention barrack.

Where any such sentence is suspended and the offender so sentenced is sentenced for a fresh offence during the period of suspension by a disciplinary officer to detention, then the disciplinary officer may cancel the suspension of the earlier sentence and the disciplinary officer shall direct whether the two sentences are to run concurrently or consecutively.
