People charged under the drug-control law, including cannabis offences, were added to the cases in which bail could not be granted. The restriction took effect on certification on 8 October 2022 and also covered bail while appealing a conviction.[1][2] In a later one-gram cannabis case, the court ordered the defendants released from remand after imposing fines and community service.[3]
