    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA1216/1998

    The appeal was dismissed because the Magistrate lawfully exercised sentencing discretion: the DATC report properly recommended against admission, the appellant's six prior convictions justified a harsher sentence than a co-defendant with a clear record, and no improper disparity or error in principle was shown to disturb the six month imprisonment sentence.
