س: لقد كانت هناك شكوى جنائية ضدي أنا وزوجي، وتحفظت النيابة العامة على جوازات السفر الخاصة بنا. بعد مرور 8 أشهر من التحقيقات، قررت النيابة العامة توجيه التهم ضد زوجي فقط، وأعطوني جواز سفري. هل يمكن أن أرفع قضية ضد الشاكي بسبب المضايقات التي واجهتها لمدة 8 أشهر والصدمة النفسية التي مررت بها؟ تم رفض طلبي بتبديل جواز سفري بجواز سفر شخص آخر أربع مرات دون إعطاء أي سبب خلال هذه المدة، ولم أستطع السفر حتى حينما كان ابني وأمي في حالة إعياء.

Q: Article 89 of Federal Decree No. 31 of 2021 promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law stipulates that “If several crimes are committed for one purpose and are inseparably linked to each other, they must all be considered one crime and the penalty prescribed for the most severe of those crimes must be imposed.” Since the four accused were committed for one criminal purpose, and the link between the first, second, and third charges was inseparable, as they were organized by one criminal plan with the accused committing several acts that together formed a single criminal unit intended by the legislator, the court, therefore, considers it one crime and punishes it with the penalty for the most severe crime. That is in accordance with the provisions of Article 89 of the Crimes and Penalties Law, as will follow in the operative part of the ruling.

Q: I and two of my employees gave witness against some people in Ajman that I saw selling a container of cell phones that they took from a guy they cheated. Also, I witnessed that they were involved in the fraud. They got convicted and they made an appeal. Now they did the following: 1) The company owner (Staying in Pakistan) confessed in the objection that he did everything legally, such as signing an agreement and selling the company to a company other than the person I witnessed against. 2) They mentioned the mistake in my dates that the material was sold inside the port directly from company to company not by them. I gave dates of witnessing them 5 days later as compared to papers of delivery given by Dubai customs under name of buyer. 3) They showed that they have previous cases against me that I did not tell the court, prosecution, and judge. Can they get easy acquittal? How can I stop them from getting acquittal because after acquittal they will surely open a case against me?

In a criminal proceeding, the standard of proof to uphold a conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution has the duty of establishing the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal proceeding. This implies that the prosecution has to persuade the court that the evidence used in the trial cannot lead to any other plausible conclusion.
