Backdating the sentence was unlawful; the trial judge could properly have taken the respondent's hardships into account but could not lawfully backdate the term, therefore the Court allowed the review, quashed the two-year backdated sentence and substituted a lawful sentence of 21 months' imprisonment to run from the date of the original sentence.
