    The court accepted the accused's guilty pleas as voluntary and unequivocal, held the date error in the second charge was a curable defect under CPC s156/s422 causing no prejudice, found each cheating offence was a separate transaction against different victims warranting consecutive sentences, and imposed the mandatory minimum of one year imprisonment for each of the three convictions to run consecutively plus one stroke of whipping per charge to be executed consecutively given the seriousness, pattern of offending and public interest in deterrence and protection of the public.
