Where the accused is sentenced to imprisonment for life or to imprisonment for a term, in cases other than those specified in Section 413, the Court passing the sentence shall immediately forward a warrant to the jail or other place where the accused is or is to be confined. If the accused is not already confined in such a place, the Court shall send the accused to the jail or other place along with the warrant.
Provided that if the accused is sentenced to imprisonment until the rising of the Court, it shall not be necessary to prepare or forward a warrant to the jail. The accused may instead be confined in a place as the Court may direct.
If the accused is not present in Court when sentenced to the imprisonment mentioned in Sub-Section (1), the Court shall issue a warrant for his arrest to ensure he is forwarded to the jail or other place where he is to be confined. In such cases, the sentence will commence on the date of his arrest.
