How to renew a passport while there is a sentenced case?

2
Q: Hi attorney,
I have several police cases. One of them is sentenced to 1 month in jail. The other ones have fines indicated. I need to find a job, but unfortunately, I lost also my passport.
For me to sort out all of these cases, I need first to renew my passport, but while doing this, I have to go to the police station and get a police report, but I'm afraid that they will hold me there and send me directly to jail when they find out that I have a sentenced case.
What is the best thing for me to do?

How to clear a report for lost passport in the police system after finding it?

5
Q: Hello
I lost my passport during shifting and I reported a lost certificate. Then after 5 to 6 days, I found my passport.
After a few days, I was going to my country and immigration stopped me. They said first you have to clear your case.
So then, I cleared my case from the police station and they said you are clear now. But in my Dubai police app, it's still pending.
Can I travel now?

I received a judgment in my favor from RDC that awarded me legal fees. Does this include lawyer fees? 0
I have received a judgment in my favor from RDC that awarded me legal fees.
However, RDC says that legal fees do not mean lawyer fees; they are RDC fees only.
Is this correct?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.
