Borneo Post

Friday 22 Jul 2011

KUCHING: The High Court here yesterday fixed Aug 23 for further mention of an appeal against conviction involving a man who has been sentenced to life imprisonment for planting cannabis trees in his house.

Court Registrar Abdul Raafidin Majidi fixed the date after the case was mentioned in his chambers yesterday as the record of appeal was not ready.

The appellant, Zubairi Ismail, 30, from Kampung Gersik was also found guilty of possessing 2.17g cannabis last year for which he was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment.

The cannabis trees were found inside his room while the cannabis was found in the pocket of his trousers at 3.30pm on July 21 last year.

The offences come under sections 6B(1)(a) and 6(3) of the Dangerous Drugs Act (DDA) 1952. The life imprisonment is equivalent to a 30-year jail.

Counsels Shankar Ram and Francis Teron represented Zubairi.
