Dear Questioner,

Withdrawing a case in the UAE after a judgment is already issued is generally not possible, especially for serious sentences like imprisonment, fines, and deportation.

An appeal can be filed within a specific timeframe (usually 30 days) to challenge the verdict and potentially receive a more lenient sentence.

There might be extremely rare exceptions based on specific circumstances.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Hello,

It is possible to appeal a judgment or sentence in court, but it is generally not possible to simply withdraw a case after a judgment has been given.

In some cases, a person may be able to file a post-conviction motion or petition for relief to challenge the legality of the conviction or sentence.

However, these motions are typically limited in scope and may not result in withdrawing the case entirely.

If a person wants to have their case withdrawn or dismissed after a judgment has been given, they would need to present new evidence or legal arguments that were not previously considered by the court.

This can be a complex and challenging process, and it is recommended that the individual contact a qualified attorney to assist with their case.

Kindly contact me via phone or email for further assistance.
