A BRADFORD man who admitted being involved in the supply of £90,000 worth of drugs has been told he will serve no more time in jail despite being sentenced to four years in prison.

Khezer Khan, 29, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine, more than four years ago, but his sentencing was delayed for medical issues, included him being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2013.

Despite being handed a four-year jail term at Bradford Crown Court yesterday, Khan was told by Judge David Hatton QC that he would walk free due to time he had previously spent in custody and on an electronic curfew.

Prosecutor Thomas Storey told the court that on November 16, 2012, Khan, of Springcliffe, Manningham, had been a passenger in a VW Jetta that had pulled up alongside a blue VW Passat in Frizinghall.

In the boot of the Passat was a bag, later found to have Khan’s fingerprints on it, containing 932g of heroin, 297.5g of crack cocaine, and 12.1g of cocaine, with a street value of £89,000.

He was arrested on November 22, 2012, and kept in custody until July 16, 2013, when he was granted bail on medical grounds due to his cancer diagnosis.

The court heard he had three previous convictions for possessing class A drugs with an intent to supply while a teenager.

Andrew Dallas, for Khan, said his client, who has now been in remission for more than two years, had spent 1,316 days on an electronic curfew from 8pm to 6am, the equivalent of 21 and a half months in prison.

“Added to his remand period, it is not far off the equivalent of a five-year sentence,” he said.

Judge Hatton told Khan he had 658 qualifying days that would count towards his four-year sentence, resulting in his immediate release.

He said: “I am obliged because of your previous convictions to pass a sentence of seven years, unless there are particular circumstances to make such an outcome unjust. But, I do take that view.

“You pleaded guilty four years ago. Those four years have seen you become a different person, brought about by the fact you have been an extremely sick man. I have reason to believe it changed your outlook on life.”
