The court held it had jurisdiction to exercise discretion under s.294 CPC notwithstanding the mandatory imprisonment wording of s.376(1) Penal Code and, on the facts (accused aged 21, guilty plea, remorse, victim's active role, absence of overt force, rehabilitative prospects), it was appropriate to impose a good behaviour bond rather than immediate imprisonment: accused released on a 2-year bond with one surety and RM20,000 deposit and conviction to be recorded.
