R. v. Mathew Andrew, Crim. Rev. 11-D-67; -/-/67; Biron, J.
Accused was convicted of carrying passengers for hire without a valid public service vehicle’s licence, and sentenced to pay a fine of Shs. 35/- or serve one month’s imprisonment in default. The conviction was quashed because it was based on hearsay evidence.
The Court stated, obiter “……..(T) he sentence was manifestly inadequate, not reflecting the seriousness with which the Legislature views such offence, as on a first conviction the court may order the cancellation of the registration and licence of the vehicle and on a second or subsequent conviction such cancellation is mandatory.”
