The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the sentences because the seriousness of repeated sexual offences against minors (including a sibling), the element of planning and recurrence, and the public interest in deterrence outweighed mitigation; guilty plea was afforded limited credit; offences were distinct so sentences were to be imposed separately; total caning was limited to 24 strokes under Section 288(1).
