ORDER ON REVISION

The respondent is the co-accused in Suva Magistrates Court Case No. 3421/76 which was the subject of a judgment of the Supreme Court in Raimond Dutta v. Reginam Supreme Court Criminal Appeal No. 106/76 of even date.

For the reasons given in that judgment I order that a conviction of larceny from the person contrary to section 303 of the Penal Code be substituted for the conviction of robbery with violence, and I set aside the sentence of three years' imprisonment imposed on the respondent and in substitution therefor sentence him to two years' imprisonment with effect from the 8th September 1976.
