The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of stabbing 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 four years and that he could pay a guarantee of 300 Dinars for the ruling to be suspended.

The office and the defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for four years and that he should be deported from Kuwait after the ruling's execution.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that he was defending himself. He also said that he had asked the court to listen to the testimony of the victim but the court had dismissed his request.
