Ruling

1. The applicant was a minor who was jointly charged with another who was an adult. She was convicted and sentenced to serve 20 years imprisonment for the offence of grievous harm contrary to section 234 of the Penal Code.

2. ON 30/7/2024, upon an application for revision of sentence, the High Court revised the sentence after receiving a probation report which was favourable and placed her on probation for one year as she was a minor and expectant.

3. The court also ordered that as soon as she attains 18 years of age, the matter be mentioned in court to confirm her status on rehabilitation. As the file cannot remain open pending attainment of 18 years, this file is closed.
