ALI MOHAMED v. R (1968) HCD 63

ALI MOHAMED v. R (1968) HCD 63

Held: 
(1) When a court does not specify whether sentences are to run consecutively or concurrently, they are to run consecutively unless a higher court orders otherwise. Here the High Court ordered the two sentences of imprisonment to run concurrently. 

(2) There is no authority for the Court to order sentences of corporal punishment in two separate cases to be executed concurrently.
