Justified leniency is to be commended 

Regina v. Krivec (Attorney General’s Reference No. 8 of 2007)

Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)

“Judges should not refrain from imposing on a defendant the sentence considered appropriate because of apprehension that that might cause the Attorney-General to challenge it as unduly lenient. Leniency where the facts justified it was to be commended, not challenged.”
