Subject to sections 246, 247, and 248, once a case has reached its finality, legal execution shall be conducted without delay.

A court of first instance has the duty to send its judgment which inflicts death or life imprisonment to an appellate court when no appeal is made against the judgment, and such judgment shall not be final until the appellate court gives a judgment reaffirming it.

In the following events, the court has the power to order the execution of imprisonment to be postponed until the appropriate reason for such postponement ends:

when the accused is insane;

when it is feared that the accused will be fatally endangered if he is imprisoned;

if the accused has been pregnant for seven months or more;

if the accused has given birth to a child for not over a month.

During such postponement, the court shall order an administrative or police official to arrange for the said person to be kept in custody in a proper place.
