Confirmation or new sentence to be signed by two Judges
AI Assist
Summary
When the High Court sits with two or more judges, any confirmation of a sentence or any new sentence or order must be made and signed by at least two judges. This covers both confirming a lower court's sentence and passing a fresh order. The rule ensures such outcomes are authorised by a multi-judge bench.
Example
Arjun's appeal is before a two-judge bench of the High Court. If the court confirms his sentence or imposes a new one, at least two judges must agree and sign the order.
Bare Act
