This case involved an individual who had beaten and insulted a victim and entered her house without permission. An appeal was dismissed as fees were not paid.
Background
The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of beating and insulting a victim. The office also accused the defendant of entering the victim’s house without her approval. The office requested the court to penalize the defendant according to the relevant laws.

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