The court accepted the JKM social report and mitigation (defendant a young offender, remorseful, no prior record, employed, sole breadwinner, relationship with victim was found to be consensual with no physical injury) and balanced these against public interest; concluding rehabilitation and family/community impact warranted a Section 294 good behaviour bond for 2 years with RM3,000 cash surety per count (total RM9,000) instead of immediate imprisonment.

B-09(H)-307-08/2022 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

The Court of Appeal found no error in the Sessions Court's exercise of sentencing discretion, held that the Sessions Court had properly considered mitigating factors including the appellant's youth and social report, concluded the High Court should not have increased the sentence, and restored the original sentences of five years imprisonment and one stroke of the rotan for each conviction while maintaining orders for counselling and police supervision.
