 (3) If:

 (ii) a proceeding in a court for such an offence in relation to the specimen is discontinued or dismissed; and
 (c) the court is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that, if the specimen were released to the person from whom it was seized or to its owner, the possession of the specimen by that person would contravene a provision of this Act or the regulations;
the court may order the forfeiture to the Commonwealth of the specimen.
