185. Reconsideration of case after suspension. (1) Where a sentence has been suspended, the
case may at any time, and shall, at intervals of not more than four months, be reconsidered by the
authority or officer specified in section 180, or by any Air or other officer not below the rank of
squadron leader duly authorised by the authority or officer specified in section 180.
(2) Where on such reconsideration by the officer so authorised it appears to him that the conduct
of the offender since his conviction has been such as to justify a remission of the sentence, he shall
refer the matter to the authority or officer specified in section 180.
186. Fresh sentence after suspension. Where an offender, while a sentence on him is suspended
under this Act, is sentenced for any other offence, then____
(a) if the further sentence is also suspended under this Act, the two sentences shall run
concurrently ;
(b) if the further sentence is for a period of three months or more and is not suspended under
this Act, the offender shall also be committed to prison or Air Force custody for the
unexpired portion of the previous sentence, but both sentences shall run concurrently ;
and
(c) if the further sentence is for a period of less than three months and is not suspended under
this Act, the offender shall be so committed on that sentence only, and the previous
sentence shall, subject to any order which may be passed under section 184 or section
185, continue to be suspended.
187. Scope of power of suspension. The powers conferred by sections 180 and 184 shall be in
addition to and not in derogation of, the power of mitigation, remission and commutation.
