The office of public prosecution accused three defendants of robbery by using violence. The office requested the court to penalize the defendants according to the relevant laws.

The court ruled that the defendants should be imprisoned for five years each.

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

The first and second defendants appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. They said in their grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law. They said that the court had failed to consider the legal consequences of the victim’s surrender of the case.

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the crime of robbery could not be pardoned or reconciled according to Article 240 of Kuwait Law No. 17/196.0

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
