Ruling Overruled

09 March 2018 Crime News

The Court of Appeals overturned a verdict issued by the Court of First Instance which sentenced an individual to seven-year imprisonment for allegedly issuing fake bank cheques and obtaining money using them. The court affirmed that a final verdict on this case was previously issued, and as per the law, a ruling cannot be issued for a case for which a final verdict was issued. In response to a complaint filed by a Kuwaiti company, the Public Prosecution had charged the suspect of issuing fake bank cheques to the company. The defense counsel Lawyer Dr Khalid Al-Kafifa presented documents at the court to support his defense, referring to Article No. 184 of the Procedures Act. He stressed that no cases can be filed for an issue if a final verdict was passed for a previous case on that issue, even if the description of the actions was changed.
