OCA CIRCULAR NO. 80-2006, May 16, 2006
| TO: | ALL REGIONAL TRIAL COURT JUDGES |
|
SUBJECT:
|
SUBMISSION OF COMMENTS, |
We have received reports that some judges have been
encountering problems in the implementation of the various provisions of
R.A. No. 9165 while others have observed that certain provisions of the
Act, especially those concerning penalties imposed on various
violations, actually defeat the purpose for the enactment of the law
instead of giving it life.
The foregoing concerns give rise to an urgent need
to re-examine the provisions of R.A. No. 9165. The result of such review
could help strengthen the provisions of this law and enable the Office
of the Court Administrator to propose appropriate recommendatory
measures mat would render the courts more effective in handling and
disposing of drugs cases.
In view of all the foregoing, ALL Regional
Trial Court judges (including those who are not presiding over special
courts for drug cases) are hereby directed to submit to the Office of
the undersigned within thirty (30) days from receipt of this Circular
their comments on, proposed revisions to, and recommendations concerning
the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE.
16 May 2006.
