The arsh may be made payable in a lump sum or in instalments spread over a period of 1[five years] from the date of the final judgement.
Where a convict fails to pay arsh or any part thereof within the period specified in sub-section (1), the convict may be kept in jail and dealt with in the same manner as if sentenced to simple imprisonment until arsh is paid in full or may be released on bail if he furnishes security 1[or surety] equal to the amount of arsh to the satisfaction of the court 1[or may be released on parole as may be prescribed by the rules.]
Where a convict dies before the payment of arsh or any part thereof, it shall be recovered from his estate.
