The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of kidnapping and robbing a victim. The office requested the court to penalize the defendant according to the relevant laws.

The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for ten years.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court amended the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for seven years.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law. He said that the elements of the crime had not been existed in the case.

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the case documents revealed that the elements of the crime of kidnapping had been existed in the case according to Article 180 of Kuwait Law No. 16/1960 .

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
