It must be given a rational meaning to effectuate the purpose behind the provision so as not to attract the vice of solitary confinement. S. 366(2) of the Cr.P.C. enables the Court to commit the convicted person who is awarded capital punishment to jail custody under a warrant.

After the sentence becomes executable he may be kept in a cell apart from other prisoners with a day and night watch.
