Two appellants said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which they were ordered to pay compensation had erred in the application of law. They said that the ruling ordered them to pay compensation for action which they did not commit. They said that the court had already acquitted them of this.

The court of cassation said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the ruling regarding the compensation was not related to the ruling related to the punishment and that the court could order the acquitted person to pay compensation. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the two appellants published an article which insulted the victim. The court said that the court proved the mistake made by the appellants against the victim. The court said that the appellants therefore had to pay the compensation.

The court dismissed the appeal.
