law: Sashastra Seema Bal Act, 2007 
  130.  Alteration of finding or sentence in
  
  certain cases.
  1.       Where a
  
  finding of guilty by a Force Court, which has been confirmed or which does not
  
  require confirmation, is found for any reason to be invalid or cannot be
  
  supported by the evidence, the authority which would have had power under
  
  section 142 to commute the punishment awarded by the sentence, if the finding
  
  had been valid may substitute a new finding and pass a sentence for the offence
  
  specified or involved in such finding:
  Provided that no such substitution shall be made unless such
  
  finding could have been validly made by the Force Court on the charge and
  
  unless it appears that the Force Court must have been satisfied of the facts
  
  establishing the said offence.
   1.     
  
     
  2.       Where a
  
  sentence passed by a Force Court which has been confirmed, or which does not
  
  require confirmation, not being a sentence passed in pursuance of a new finding
  
  substituted under sub-section (1) , is found for any reason to be
  
  invalid, the authority referred to in sub-section (1) may pass a valid
  
  sentence.
  3.       The
  
  punishment awarded by a sentence passed under sub-section (1) or
  
  subsection (2) shall not be higher in the scale of punishments than, or
  
  in excess of, the punishment awarded by, the sentence for which a new sentence
  
  is substituted under this section.
  4.       Any
  
  finding substituted, or any sentence passed, under this section shall, for the
  
  purposes of this Act and the rules, have effect as if it were a finding or
  
  sentence, as the case may be, of a Force Court.
