The Sessions Judge had given excessive weight to the guilty plea and failed adequately to consider public interest and deterrence. Given the particular gravity of the robberies (impersonation of police, handcuffing and prolonged ransacking of a household including a baby at predawn hours) and absence of extenuating factors, the six-year term was manifestly inadequate; the appropriate sentence for the 1st respondent is ten years' imprisonment for each charge, to run concurrently, with whipping sustained, from date of arrest.
