Section 410Procedural

Confirmation or new sentence to be signed by two Judges

Full Text

In every case so submitted, the confirmation of the sentence, or any new sentence or order passed by the High Court, shall, when such Court consists of two or more Judges, be made, passed and signed by at least two of them.

Plain English Summary

Requires at least two High Court judges to sign off on a death sentence confirmation or any related new order.

Key Legal Elements

  • Applies to High Court confirmation proceedings
  • Order must be signed by at least two judges
  • Mandatory consensus for death sentence confirmation

Practical Note

This is a procedural safeguard ensuring that a single judge cannot confirm a death sentence. It requires a division bench (at least two judges) to reach a consensus on capital punishment.
