    The Court accepted the prosecution's reduction of the charge to possession under section 6 punishable under section 39A(2), found the quantity (468.6g cannabis) and public interest significant but mitigation and sentencing trends warranted reducing the life sentence to nine years' imprisonment (from date of arrest) and 10 strokes of whipping; appeal allowed in part and original life sentence set aside and substituted accordingly.
