The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of detaining, beating and insulting a victim. The office requested the court to penalise the defendant according to the relevant laws.

The court acquitted the defendant in the first crime. The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for one year for the other two crimes.

The office and the defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appeals and upheld the appealed ruling.

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 t no causal relationship had existed between his action and the victim’s injury.

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the report of the coroner had proved that the defendant had beated the victim and caused her many injuries.
