Rule52.(i) When whipping is awarded in addition to an
imprisonment an entry shall be made in red ink in the release
register, on the page of the day on which the prisoner is to receive
stripes. Should this date be uncertain, owing to an appeal being
lodged, two or three forward entries shall be made as a reminder
that the prisoner is to be brought up at the proper time to receive
stripes.
[(ii) Procedure of whipping shall be the same as
prescribed under the Whipping Ordinance 1979 and Whipping
Rules 1979]
Execution of sentence of whipping only.
Rule53. When the accused is sentenced to whipping, only,
the sentence shall be executed at such place and time as the court
may direct. Under the Criminal Procedure Code as now revised all
whipping sentences are appealable. The oourt does not, however,
in the case of sentence of whipping only, provide for any
postponement of execution unless the convicted person furnishes
bail to the satisfaction of the court for his appearance at a later
date; In the case of prisoners received in prison with sentence of
whipping only, the sentence should be executed at the time
specified in the warrant. If no time is mentioned in the warrant,
then the sentence should be executed as soon as possible. The fact
that the prisoner may express to the prison authority an intention to
appeal does not justify them in delaying execution of the sentence.

addition to an imprisonment, the whipping shall not be
effected until fifteen days from the date of the sentence or if an
appeal is preferred within that time until the sentence has been
confirmed by the appellate court. If no intimation of an appeal
having been preferred is received within fifteen days the
Superintendent shall nevertheless allow such further time to elapse
as is necessary for a communication from the appellate court to
reach him in the ordinary course, before inflicting the whipping.
The whipping shall be inflicted as soon as practicable after
the expiry of the period fixed under this rule or if an appeal is
preferred then as soon as practicable after the receipt of the order of
the appellate court confirming the sentence. The whipping shall be
inflicted in the presence of the Superintendent unless the Judge or
Coordination Officer orders it to be inflicted in his own presence. If
