The guilty plea was voluntary, unqualified and supported by sufficient evidence (including early medical report); therefore appeal against conviction was barred under s.305 CPC and dismissed. On sentence the High Court found the original term manifestly inadequate given the gravity and persistence of the offence against a young child and allowed the prosecution's cross-appeal to increase imprisonment from 18 to 20 years while maintaining ancillary orders; no error in the lower court's application of principles except inadequate quantum of imprisonment.
