BEFORE: The Hon. Mr. Justice G. M. Okello

## REVISION ORDER:

I directed the calling of this file under section 339 of the Criminal Procedure Code in order to inspect the record of the proceedings therein.

The two accused persons were jointly charged with being in nossession of classified drugs otherwise than in accordance with section 44(2) of the Pharmacy and Drugs Act 39/70. Accused No2 was convicted on his own plea of guilty and he was sentenced to both a fine of three thousand shillings and a term of two months imprisonment. The fine was duly paid. The charge against accused No1 was withdrawn.

My perusal of the record of the proceedings reveals that no further action is required. The conviction was proper as the plea was clearly unequivocal. The Trail Magistrate gave reason for the sentence as being the frequency of the offence in the area.

The file is therefore ordered to be returned to the Magistrate's Court Kitgum for retention.

C. Shin G. M. Okello JUDGE $7/9/1990.$
