Held: “The Court should
not have imposed two sentences of corporal punishment in respect of the
burglary sentences to be carried out “concurrently”. The proper mode of
sentencing is to pass the statutory minimum sentence (including the twenty –
four strokes of corporal punishment) for the first of the burglary counts and
to pass sentence of twenty-four months imprisonment only (or any other period
which the Court deems fit, not less that two years), in respect of the second
burglary Count. All sentences of imprisonment may then be ordered to run
concurrently.”
