1. The applicant was charged and after a full trial convicted for the offence of assault causing actual bodily hard contrary to section 251 of the Penal Code. He was sentenced to serve two years imprisonment.

2. He filed the present undated application seeking sentence review. The grounds raised are that the sentence served is sufficient rehabilitation. He urged the court to release him.

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, the time spent in remand custody and the fact that the applicant was a first offender before sentencing. Having considered the application in its totality. The sentence imposed was also legal in the circumstances of the case.
