Each fraudulent transaction involved separate acts of deception causing separate losses to victims on different dates and places; therefore the one transaction rule did not apply and consecutive sentences were appropriate; however the court exercised sentencing discretion to reduce each term from three years to two years in recognition of mitigation (early guilty plea and other factors) while maintaining corporal punishment and ordering restitution under Section 426 CPC.
