- Court of Appeal
The Court held the nine year starting point for three consecutive rapes was within range but the sentencing Judge materially under‑discounted the appellants' personal circumstances; a 13% discount for Baljeet (reflecting youth and foreign nationality) and a 10% discount for Harpreet (reflecting foreign nationality and remorse/reparation) were appropriate, resulting in substituted sentences of seven years ten months (Baljeet) and eight years one month (Harpreet).
