(1) When prisoners who have not, to the knowledge of the prison authorities, preferred an appeal or revision, are transferred to other prisons before the expiry of the limitation period, a notice of such transfer shall invariably be sent to the last convicting court. When an order to release a prisoner who has been transferred, or a revised warrant or any communication relating to his appeal or revision, is received from the court, the Superintendent shall forward it immediately to the Superintendent of the prison to which the prisoner has been transferred. (2) The appellate or the revisional court shall notify the prisoner through the Superintendent of the prison in which he is confined, the result of his appeal or revision. This notification is intended solely for the communication of the result of the appeal or revision to the prisoner, and in no way relieves judicial officers from the duty of issuing a revised warrant wherever the same is necessary. (3) Sub rules (1) and (2) shall not apply to cases in which a sentence passed by a judicial Court is commuted by order of the Governor or of the President. In such a case, a copy of the order of the Government shall be attached to the prisoner’s warrant, on which a note setting forth the alteration of the sentence, and the number and date of the Government order shall be made and attested by the Superintendent. Petition for clemency.
