The court held that although s.67A Cap.221 prevents automatic crediting of pre-charge custody, the sentencing court may reduce an imposed sentence to take account of such custody where failing to do so would be unjust; applying that principle the appeal was allowed and the sentence reduced by three months from nine to six months imprisonment.
