Criminal Procedure Code

Provided that such money shall not be so applied if
the Court is satisfied that the money does not belong
to the person on whom it was found or that the loss of
the money will be more injurious to his family than his
imprisonment.
(2) The term for which the Court directs that person to be
imprisoned in default of payment or of a sufficient distress to
satisfy any sum shall not exceed the following scale—
When the money to be paid
does not exceed RM500
… … … … … One month
When the money to be paid exceeds
RM500 but does not exceed RM1000
In any other case
… … Two months
… … … … … … Six months
(3) Subject to the provisions of this Code the imprisonment
which the Court imposes under this section shall terminate
whenever the money is paid or levied by process of law.
(4) If before the expiration of the time of such imprisonment
such a proportion of the money is paid or levied that the time
of imprisonment suffered is not less than proportional to the part
of the money still unpaid, the imprisonment shall terminate.
(5) A warrant for the levy of any such sum may be executed at
any place in Malaysia but if it is required to be executed outside
the State in which it is issued it shall be endorsed for that purpose
by a Judge or a First Class Magistrate having jurisdiction in the
State in which it is to be executed.
Copies of proceedings
433. (1) If the complainant or the accused or any person affected
by a judgment or order passed or made by a criminal Court
desires to have a copy of any order or deposition or other part
of the record, he shall, on applying for such copy, be furnished
with it by the Court:
Provided that he pays for the same such reasonable sum as the
Court may direct unless the Court for some special reason thinks
fit to furnish it free of cost.
