When a sentence of imprisonment for a term is passed under this Code on an escaped convict, -
(a) If such sentence is severer in kind than the sentence, which such convict was undergoing when he escaped, the new sentence shall take effect immediately;
(b) If such sentence is not severer in kind than the sentence, which such convict was undergoing when he escaped, the new sentence shall take effect after he has suffered imprisonment for a further period equal to that, which, at the time of his escape, remained unexpired of his former sentence.
