The court held that remand/detention period must be taken into account and credited when imposing sentence; although guilty plea and first offender status are mitigating factors, the court may still impose the statutory maximum; accordingly the sentence of three years imprisonment and fine was maintained but is to run from the date of arrest with remand credited.
