The offences comprised multiple separate acts of cheating causing distinct losses to victims on separate dates and therefore did not constitute one transaction; consecutive sentences were appropriate for separate transactions; guilty plea merited mitigation but its weight was limited by seriousness and public interest; exercising discretion the court reduced each sentence from three years to two years but maintained consecutive operation and retained corporal punishment; restitution to victims ordered under section 426 CrPC.
