Although the sentences imposed were inadequate and wrong in principle given the seriousness of corrupt conduct by police officers, the Court refused to increase the sentences on review because exceptional ad misericordiam circumstances (an aborted first trial causing delay, almost one year between first appearance and final judgment, and two respondents having already served their sentences and obtained employment) made interference unjust; therefore the application to increase sentences was dismissed.
