Law of Criminal Procedure

1.The court rendering a judgment of conviction and imposition of punishment may order stay of execution of a criminal judgment based on material reasons specified in its grounds for judgment. The order shall specify the period of such stay. 2.The court considering the case may state in its judgment that the imprisonment sentence for the public right be stayed if it finds on the bases of the convict’s morals, past, age, personal circumstances or the circumstances in which the crime is committed, or otherwise, that the execution should be stayed. If the convicted person commits any crime within three years from the date the stayed judgment has become final and is convicted and punished by imprisonment for the public right, the court may –upon request by the prosecutor –nullify the stay of execution of the punishment and order the execution thereof, without prejudice to the punishment imposed for the new crime.
