Given the mitigating factors—repayment of loans, exorbitant interest charged by lender, absence of departmental connection, length and good record of public service, financial hardship, and that prosecutions served a publicity and deterrent purpose—the Court allowed the appeals to the extent that convictions should not be recorded in all cases and set aside the fine in the more serious case (No.219), ordering its return if paid.
