Ruling

1. The applicant was charged and after a full trial convicted for the offence of Grievous harm contrary to section 234 of the Penal Code. She was sentenced to serve 7 years imprisonment.

2. She has filed the present application received on 20th August 2024 seeking revision of sentence. The grounds raised are that she was the bread winner to her youthful family. She urged the court to revise the sentence of the trial court and consider time spent in remand in line with section 333(2) of the CPC.

3. 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 and the time spent in remand custody. Having considered the application in its totality. The sentence imposed was also legal in the circumstances of the case. In my view I find no good cause or reason to revise the sentence imposed by the trial court.

4. The application dismissed for lacking in merit.Orders accordingly.
