A Durban attorney who appealed a guilty conviction on a theft conviction and lost will now go to jail for five years.
Jayshree Baijnath, the owner of Baijnath and Partners in Chatsworth, was convicted for theft amounting to R644 989 in the Durban Regional Court on March 1, 2017.
At the time Baijnath was sentenced to six years, wholly suspended for five years.
A year later she was granted leave to appeal the decision.
This week Judge Mahendra Chetty dismissed the appeal in the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
In his judgment, Judge Chetty said the original sentence imposed by the trial court paid lip service to the seriousness of the offence and jailed her for 5 years. ....
