  424.Suspension of execution of sentence of imprisonment.-
  (1) When an offender has been sentenced to
  
  fine only and to imprisonment in default of payment of the fine, and the fine
  
  is not paid forthwith, the Court may-
  (a) order that the fine shall be payable either in full on or before a date not
  
  more than thirty days from the date of the order, or in two or three
  
  installments, of which the first shall be payable or on before a date not more
  
  than thirty days from the date of the order and the other or others at an
  
  interval or at intervals, as the case may be, of not more than thirty days;
  (b) suspend the execution of the sentence of imprisonment and release the
  
  offender, on the execution by the offender of a bond, with or without sureties,
  
  as the Court thinks fit, conditioned for his appearance before the Court on the
  
  date or dates on or before which payment of the fine or the installments
  
  thereof, as the case may be, is to be made; and if the amount of the fine or of
  
  any installment, as the case may be, is not realized on or before the latest
  
  date on which it is payable under the order, the Court may direct the sentence
  
  of imprisonment to be carried into execution at once.
  (2) The provisions of sub-section (1) shall be applicable also in any case in
  
  which an order for the payment of money has been made on non-recovery of which
  
  imprisonment may be awarded and the money is not paid forthwith; and, if the
  
  person against whom the order has been made, on being required to enter into a
  
  bond such as is referred to in that sub-section, fails to do so, the Court may
  
  at once pass sentence of imprisonment.
