According to Article 383 subparag. 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act with respect to the second ground for appeal, an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing is allowed only in cases where death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment with or without labor for not less than ten years is imposed. As such, the argument that the amount of punishment is inappropriate is not a legitimate ground for appeal.

3. The final appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
