The question of sentence is in the discretion of the Court which finds the accused guilty on a certain charge. The said discretion, of course, is to be exercised in a judicial manner on taking all the relevant circumstances into consideration and the trial court and the Court of first appeal are the appropriate courts to exercise this discretion. The Supreme Court, generally, does not inter­fere with the legal sentence imposed by the trial court or the Appellate Court except in exceptional circumstances.
