The Drug Offenders Rehabilitation Board (DORB) can refer cases to the Courts of Magistrates. It operates in conjunction with the judicial system to ensure that drug offenders receive appropriate rehabilitation while maintaining legal oversight and enforcement.

•  The DORB can make recommendations to the Courts of Magistrates regarding the rehabilitation of drug offenders. This includes suggesting suitable rehabilitation programmes and measures based on the offender’s assessment.
•  The Courts of Magistrates retain oversight of the legal proceedings and can incorporate the DORB’s recommendations into its rulings. This ensures that the offender’s rehabilitation is legally sanctioned and monitored.
•  If an offender fails to comply with the rehabilitation measures recommended by the DORB and endorsed by the Court, the DORB can refer the case again to the Courts of Magistrates for any action in may deem necessary in accordance with the law. This may include any adjustments as deemed necessary as to the rehabilitation plan or the imposition of penalties and/or additional penalties.
•  The DORB collaborates with the Courts of Magistrates by providing regular reports on the offender’s progress in rehabilitation. This enables the Court to make informed decisions regarding the continuation and/or modification of the offender’s rehabilitation programme.

This collaborative framework ensures that drug offenders receive the support they need for rehabilitation while maintaining accountability through the judicial system.
