Summary/Abstract: The author approves the reasoning in the judgment commented on, at the same time finding it interesting as it touches upon the issue very frequently faced by jurisprudence. This commentary, essentially is a show to attempt what should be mete out a punishment in court of appeal, especially in a case so called joint punishment. One of the most important limitation that appears after lodging an appeal to the criminal court is connected with reformatio in peius. The court of appeal should respects this limitation. But the meting out a punishment never should be automatic. The court of appeal must comply with a rules of criminal code.
