Section 64. Punishment for subsequent offences
If a person, after having been previously convicted of an offence punishable under this Act, subsequently commits and is convicted of the same offence, he is liable to twice the punishment which might have been imposed on a first conviction (subject to the maximum provided for that offence), a further fine of up to one lakh rupees per day where the offence is continuing, and cancellation of his licence.
The court may also direct that the offender’s name, place of residence, the offence and the penalty imposed be published at the offender’s expense, the cost of which is recoverable as part of the cost of conviction.
