in lawful custody a person accused as aforesaid the Minister of

Provisions as to money payable as costs or compensation
432. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Code where any
person is, under this Code, for any reason whatsoever, ordered
to pay any sum of money by way of costs or compensation, the
Court making the order may in its discretion do all or any of the
following things, namely—
(a)
allow time for the payment of that sum;
(b)
direct payment of that sum to be made by installments;
(c)
issue a warrant for the levy of that sum by distress and
sale of any property belonging to that person;
(d)
direct that in default of payment or of a sufficient distress
to satisfy such sum, that person shall suffer imprisonment
for a certain term, which imprisonment shall be in excess
of any other imprisonment to which he may be sentenced
or to which he may be liable under a commutation of
sentence:
Provided that where time is not allowed for the payment
of that sum an order for imprisonment in default of
payment shall not be issued in the first instance unless
it appears to the Court that that person has no property
or insufficient property to satisfy the money payable or
that the levy of distress will be more injurious to him
or his family than imprisonment;
(e) direct that that person be searched and that any money
found on him when so searched or which in the event
of his being committed to prison, may be found on
him when taken to prison shall be applied towards the
payment of that sum, the surplus, if any, being returned
to him:
