Because all appellants pleaded guilty unequivocally and their pleas were accepted, appeal against conviction is barred by s.305 CPC; having considered aggravating and mitigating factors, prevalence of gambling offences, parliamentary intent to deter gambling, and public interest, the court found the 3‑month imprisonment sentence appropriate and upheld it; referral to the Immigration Department for further administrative action was proper and the order for concurrency for one appellant was maintained.
