IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL 60622/98 BEAZLEY JA SIMPSON J McINERNEY AJ Friday 13 August 1999
REGINA v NAEEM RAZA HASHMI JUDGMENT
1 BEAZLEY JA: I will ask McInerney AJ to give the first judgment.
2 McINERNEY AJ: In this matter the appellant seeks leave to appeal against a sentence imposed on him. I should point out that he initially lodged an appeal and it is abandoned and he now seeks to go behind the abandonment and seeks leave to appeal against the sentence. We have elected to hear the merits of the appeal and it will be a matter to determine whether we should allow him leave to appeal against sentence out of time.
3 The appellant seeks leave to appeal against a sentence imposed upon him, on a plea of guilty, by Judge Viney of the District Court for 5 years to date from 15 December 1997, the date of his arrest. His Honour specified a non parole period of three years for one count of importing a commercial quantity of heroin of 2.5 kilograms gross, 1.881 pure. This is a commercial quantity of a prescribed drug under the Act as the commercial quantity is 1.5 kilograms. The maximum sentence for this offence is life imprisonment.
