The Court held that the magistrate's sentence of 15 months for using a forged travel document (with a concurrent six-month sentence for false representation) was within the appropriate range, that the appellant was not a transit passenger but was seeking entry, that the data did not show a consistent lower sentencing pattern warranting referral to the Court of Appeal, and accordingly the appeal was dismissed and the sentences confirmed.
