Former Suva lawyer Shazran Abdul Lateef

An order for review has been granted in the case of former Suva lawyer Shazran Abdul Lateef by the Suva High Court.

Lateef's lawyer Filimoni Vosarogo had filed for a review of the bail ruling which was denied in the Suva Magistrates Court.

Lateef appeared before Justice Thushara Rajasinghe today.

He is facing a count each of being found in possession of illicit drugs and breach of bail in this latest case.

Lateef was allegedly found with 0.0063 grams of methamphetamine at his Nailuva Road home on the 14th of last month.

This is the fifth case where Lateef has been charged and produced in court for possession of illicit drugs.

He was bailed in the previous four cases.
