The High Court allowed the appeal in part and reduced the custodial term from 17 to 10 years (to run from date of arrest) while maintaining seven strokes of the cane because the prosecution authorities relied upon involved multiple counts and were distinguishable; the appellant's guilty plea, first‑offender status, remorse, age and health constituted sufficient mitigation to justify a reduced term while preserving deterrent effect for public interest.
