Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's discretion in sentencing, affirming that the sentence awarded was in accordance with the law. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's decision, thereby dismissing the appeal. This judgment reinforces the principle that appellate courts should respect the sentencing discretion exercised by lower courts unless there are compelling reasons to intervene.
