(Repealed) Transportation instead of imprisonment

Transportation as a punishment (sending a convict to a penal settlement or away from ordinary imprisonment) is no longer available. The provision that allowed courts to order transportation was repealed, so courts must impose other penalties such as imprisonment, fine, or measures under the current criminal procedure.

Ravi is convicted of theft. Under the old law a court might have ordered transportation instead of jail, but since that provision is repealed the court must sentence him to imprisonment, a fine, or other available penalties under current law.
