| Abstract: | Article 93 of the Constitution regulates the prerogative of mercy. It usurps the functions of the courts of criminal jurisdiction by subjecting their decisions to governmental review. This provision authorises the President to administer pardons, amnesties or respites and substitute punishments by a lesser form of punishment and remissions. Although granted by the President; it is not his own individual decision but he is constitutionally compelled to act on the advice of the Cabinet or a minister acting under the general authority of the Cabinet. |
