Section264.If a petition for pardoning another punishment than death has once been dismissed, it cannot be submitted against until passage of two years from the day of the previous dismissal.
Section265.In the event that an absolute and unconditional pardon is granted for a punishment, that punishment shall not be executed. If the punishment has already been executed to a certain degree, it shall be terminated immediately. If it be a fine which has been paid already, the fine shall be returned entirely.
If the pardon merely commutes or remits the punishment, the remaining punishment shall continue to be executed.
However, the receipt of a pardon does not discharge the recipient from the liability to return property or pay its value or compensation according to the judgment.
Section266.When a person who has been pardoned for one offence is charged with the commission of another offence, the pardon does not preclude the power of the court to increase or dispense with suspending his punishment according to the Penal Code which deals with recidivism or suspension of punishment.
