Given s379A(1) PC mandates imprisonment and the accused admitted and furnished an extensive record of prior convictions which were properly admitted, and balancing mitigation against aggravation and public interest in deterrence, the Magistrate imposed a sentence of 2 years 3 months imprisonment starting 30 March 2023; the guilty plea precluded challenge to conviction under s305 CPC so only sentence could be appealed.
