The applicant was charged and after a full trial convicted for the offence of grevious harm contrary to section 234 of the Penal Code. He was sentenced to serve five (5) years imprisonment. 2. She has filed the present application seeking revision of sentence. The grounds raised are that he has served a substantial term of his sentence. She is remorseful for the offence committed.

I have considered the application, the grounds in support and the applicable law. From the record of the trial court, the court considered the applicant’s mitigation, the time spent in remand custody and the fact that the applicant was a first offender before sentencing.
