The appeal has been submitted to the Colombo High court by attorney-at-law Lakshman Perera to be filed before the appeal court.
In the appeal, the suspect said the Colombo high court sentenced him to six years in prison with hard labour after he pleaded guilty for possessing and trafficking 5.3 kilogrammes of cannabis.
While pointing out that the jail term imposed on him was too severe, through his appeal Kanjipani Imran requested the court to issue a reduced sentence.
