The court imposed the maximum statutory sentence under Section 43 Societies Act 1966 but held that the period of detention from arrest must be taken into account, therefore the sentence is to run from the arrest date (20 June 2021); consequently the Public Prosecutor's appeal seeking a harsher or non-backdated sentence was dismissed.
