The court accepted the voluntariness of the accused's guilty pleas and gave mitigatory weight to plea, first‑offender status, age and health, but prioritised public interest and deterrence given multiple offences involving four different dangerous drugs and applicable statutory maxima; sentenced to 11 years imprisonment for each of the three offences punishable under s.39A(2) (including two pleaded‑down counts) and 3 years imprisonment for each of the three possession counts under KA‑45‑5‑05/2021, all sentences to run concurrently; no whipping ordered due to age over statutory limit.
