The conviction was upheld because the trial judge's acceptance of the prosecution witnesses and rejection of the applicant's account on credibility grounds was justified and not open to interference; however the sentence was reduced from 3 years 6 months to 3 years 2 months because the court gave weight to partial repayment by a third party, the single-transaction nature of the offence and other mitigating considerations, resulting in an approximate 10% reduction.
