    The High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the Sessions Court sentence because the sentence fell within the statutory range under s39C ADB 1952, the trial judge applied correct sentencing principles, the appellant's prior convictions and lack of rehabilitation justified a longer custodial sentence for deterrence, and appellate intervention was not warranted absent error or manifest excessiveness.
