convict is not absolved his liability to pay fine

It is held and clarified that by undergoing a sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine a convict is not absolved his liability to pay fine and the amount of fine can still be recovered from him despite undergone the sentence of imprisonment in default of fine because a sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine is only a punishment for nonpayment of fine and is not substitute for the sentence of fine.
(1989 SCMR 824)
