JUDGMENT
-----------------
1. The appellant was found guilty of two charges of robbery with aggravation and sentenced to three years' imprisonment for the first charge and three years' imprisonment for the second charge. In addition he was sentenced to suffer four strokes of the cane for the first charge. He appealed against his sentence and conviction. The Court dismissed the appeal against conviction. The Court asked for a Probation Officer's report, a medical report and a report under section 4 of the Drug Addiction Treatment Centres Ordinance. For the reasons given in C.A. No. 846 of 1969 the Court varied the sentence by quashing the order for corporal punishment and ordered that the time spent in prison pending the hearing of the appeal to court towards the sentence.
