Section 31 the Probation of offenders act, 1988

There is no Section 31 in the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958 (not 1988).

✅ Important Points:

The Probation of Offenders Act, 1958 has only 25 sections in total.

Section 31 may have been confused with Section 31 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (now Section 31 of CrPC, 1973), which is referenced in Section 15 of the Probation Act.

🔹 If you meant:

👉 Section 31 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973:

It deals with sentencing in cases of multiple offences and allows courts to pass consecutive or concurrent sentences when a person is convicted of multiple crimes at one trial.
