The first defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The first defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling haderred in the application of law. He said that the arrest proceedings were invalid and violated Article No. 43, 53 and 57 of Kuwait Law No. 17/1960 .

The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that the case documents revealed that the police officer who had arrested the defendant had not received approval from the office of public prosecution before the arrest.

The court repealed the appealed ruling.
