Given the appellants' circumstances (repayment of loans, absence of departmental connection to the lender, long public service, and mitigating reasons for borrowing) and the proper exercise of discretion under the Magistrates Ordinance, the Court allowed the appeals to the extent that convictions should not be recorded in all the listed cases; in Criminal Appeal No.219 the fine was set aside and no conviction recorded, with any paid fine to be returned.
