Can punishment be given and made to serve twice for different murders
23-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My father was charged with a murder and then a second. He got punishment of second murder first and then first. He already served time of second murder but now after pronouncement of first murder sentence he is serving it again. Does CW count in PW?
Punishment not be twice for 1 crime.
If 2 crime is made then it will be separate punishment for both.
If 2 crime punishment given at same time by court then it may merge the punishment.
It will depend on case to case.

Does the second punishment arises out of the same offence? Does the PW and dw are the same in the same offences? If they are different then it depends that the punishment is running consecutively or concurrently. Have to see the details.
What is a CW & PW? Anyways, since both the murder trials, as explained by you, did not run simultaneously and the conviction and punishment order has been passed in the first murder trial after serving the period of punishment of second murder, it appears, unfortunately, that he will have to undergo the the period of entire period of Punishment.
