Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Pardon: It removes both the sentence and the conviction and completely absolves the
convict from all sentences, punishments and disqualifications.
Remission: It denotes the substitution of one form of punishment for a lighter form.
For example, a death sentence may be commuted to rigorous imprisonment, which in
turn may be commuted to a simple imprisonment.
Commutation: It implies reducing the period of sentence without changing its
character. For example, a sentence of rigorous imprisonment for two years may be
remitted to rigorous imprisonment for one year.
Respite: It denotes awarding a lesser sentence in place of one originally awarded due
to some special fact, such as the physical disability of a convict or the pregnancy of a
woman offender.
Reprieve: It implies a stay of the execution of a sentence (especially that of death) for
a temporary period. Its purpose is to enable the convict to have time to seek pardon
or commutation from the President.
