On which the Sindh High Court expressed anger over the petitioner, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar said that what kind of petition have you brought, do you want everyone in the country to start consuming hashish? Tell me how much you should be fined.
Petitioner Ghulam Asgharsai explained that he tried to file the petition for the public interest.
Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar said that if you are a copycat, you can go to other countries, it is not allowed here, why do you bring such petitions in the court?
