In the event that no petition is submitted, the Minister of Interior may, if he finds it appropriate, advise the King to pardon a sentenced person.
Section262.Subject to sections 247 and 248, once a case has reached its finality and any person has been sentenced to death, authorities shall put such person to death upon passage of a period of sixty days from the day the sentence was heard. But in the event that a petition or advice for the granting of pardon is submitted in accordance with section 261, the execution of the death sentence shall be postponed until passage of a period of sixty days from the day the petition or advice was submitted by the Minister of Interior. However, if the petition is dismissed, the execution of the death sentence may take place before this period passes.
A petition or advice for the granting of pardon to a person sentenced to death can be submitted only once.
Section263.The fact that a petition is submitted for pardoning another punishment than death shall not result in postponement of the infliction of such punishment.
