Given the mitigating factors (short-term loans, prompt repayment, exorbitant interest charged by lender, absence of departmental connection, long government service and potential disproportionate employment/pension consequences), the court held that recording convictions was inappropriate and ordered that no convictions be recorded in each case and that the fine in Criminal Appeal No.219 be set aside and refunded; the magistrate's exercise of discretion was altered accordingly.
