Expungement of Suspended Sentence Upon Probation Expiry Regardless of Subsequent Offenses Without Revocation

The court affirmed that a record of a suspended custodial sentence must be expunged from the criminal register upon the expiry of the probationary period, even if the convicted person committed further offenses during that period, provided there was no revocation of the suspension. The reasoning emphasizes that the legislative intent behind granting a suspended sentence is to facilitate quick rehabilitation, meaning the non-execution of the sentence, coupled with the passage of the probationary term without revocation, mandates deletion under the relevant statute, ensuring the individual is not disadvantaged compared to those whose sentences were fully served.
