Drug Crimes Under UAE Criminal Law 2
A legal concept upheld by the Federal Supreme Court states that drug use is not prosecuted by UAE courts if the offense occurred abroad. A positive drug test is accepted as proof of drug use, but it does not reveal whether the drug use occurred domestically or abroad. It is necessary to establish the crime's location in order to decide if the UAE courts have the authority to investigate it or if foreign courts should have jurisdiction over it.

The Accused is Innocent Until Proven Guilty 2
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.

Misrepresentation in a criminal case filed by the bank 0
My husband was arrested at the airport because of a wrongful case filed by a bank in the UAE against my husband's company instead of the actual loan defaulter.
My husband was held at the airport and was not allowed to travel that night. They released my husband that night after the intervention of his sponsor.
But the passport was held as security. He had to visit the police station on the next working day to prove his innocence and reclaim his passport.
We want to sue this bank. How should we proceed?

Dear Sir,
I am working for a company. They had submitted a labour contract without my knowledge.
They got fake signature mentioning only 500 as a basic salary for a job of sales, while I am working as a business development executive in the company.

Claiming passport and cancellation of partner visa from the sponsor 0
How to cancel a partner/investor visa knowing that the sponsor will never agree to cancel my visa, and the sponsor is ready to accuse me of stealing money in case I decided to leave the company?
I am a student and I never worked in the company. I was only added to the company to get a visa while I study. I am 22 years old.
The reason why I want to leave is that my passport was stolen by the manager/owner of the company and I have been trying to get my passport through the court but no use!
I want to cancel it and get a new passport and leave the country.
