    The High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the Magistrate's one‑year imprisonment, applying established sentencing principles: begin with maximum then discount for early guilty plea and mitigation, weigh public interest and aggravating factors, and exercise discretion under section 282(d) for commencement. The court found the plea voluntary and mitigation insufficient to reduce the custodial sentence below one year.
