The court held that established authority requires remand/detention prior to conviction to be taken into account when computing sentence; having considered mitigation (guilty plea, first offender) but noting public interest, the court found no justification to disturb the sentence imposed by the trial court and dismissed the Public Prosecutor's appeal, upholding the sentence and computation from the date of arrest.
