Summary
When the High Court confirms a death sentence on appeal or in revision, the Sessions Court must, on receiving the High Court's order, cause the sentence to be carried into effect by issuing a warrant. Issuing the warrant is the formal step that enables the execution of the death sentence.

Rohan was convicted at trial and sentenced to death. He appealed and the High Court confirmed the sentence; when the Sessions Court receives the High Court's order, it will issue a warrant to carry out the death sentence.
