Sirohi v The Queen

The appeal in *Sirohi v The Queen* concerned an appeal against sentence brought by the applicant, Mr Sirohi, who had been convicted of two offences of sexual intercourse without consent. The appeal was heard by Murrell CJ, Penfold and Wigney JJ.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether the sentence imposed was manifestly excessive and whether the principle of totality had been correctly applied by the sentencing judge.

The Court found that no specific error had been identified in the sentencing process. In dismissing the appeal, the Court implicitly affirmed the sentencing judge's application of the principle of totality and found that the sentence was not demonstrably excessive in the circumstances of the offending.
