I have taken into consideration the fact that the convict did not plead guilty to the offences charged and took the court and the complainants through the motions of a long hearing for the offence of shop breaking and committing a felony. 3. Despite the mitigations now being placed before the court, I am not satisfied that the Applicants deserve sentence revision as the sentence of three years imprisonment meted out was very lenient and lawful. I decline the applications for revision of sentence and dismiss the same. 4. Applicants/Convicts to serve full sentence subject to remission qualification. Orders accordingly.
