(3) In the event of the fine or any installment thereof not being paid in accordance with an order under this section the authority making the order may enforce payment of the fine or of the balance outstanding by any means authorized in this chapter and may cause the offender to be arrested and may commit or re-commit him to prison under the sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of the fine. NOTES : (1) Payment of a fine by the sureties to a bond discharges the offender as if he had paid it himself. (2) See Sections 69 to 72 of the Penal Code, 2002. (3) For form of warrant of commitment to prison in default of payment of a fine, see Schedule 111,36. 270. Execution of Sentence of Whipping.

(2) The whipping shall be inflicted in the presence of the official in charge of the prison unless the Magistrate orders it to be inflicted in his own presence. (3) No sentence of whipping shall be executed by installments. 271. Stay of Execution of Sentence of Whipping. (1) If before the execution of a sentence of whipping it appears to the Magistrate or official present that the offender is not in a fit state of health to undergo the sentence, he shall stay the execution; and the Magistrate who passed the sentence may either after taking a medical opinion again order the execution of the sentence or substitute it for any other sentence which he could have passed at the trial. (2) If during the execution of a sentence of whipping it appears to the Magistrate or official present that the offender is not in a fit state of health to undergo the remainder of the sentence, the whipping shall be finally stopped and the remainder of the sentence be remitted. (3) In either case the Magistrate, if not present, shall be informed of the stay of execution. 272. Execution of Sentence on Escaped Convict.
