Q: Hello, Background I was unfortunately involved in a fraud case in the RAK court in 2020. In the First Court, I was sentenced to 4 months in jail. In the Second Court, I was sentenced to 6 months in jail. In the Supreme Court, the case was returned to the Second Court. In the Court of Revision, I was declared innocent, and I received a clearance certificate from the RAK Court confirming my innocence. A few days ago, I went to a police station in Abu Dhabi to request a police clearance certificate, but it was rejected. According to the police officer, they could only see the outcomes of the First and Second Courts and asked me to attend a rehabilitation class. The final judgment was not loaded into the system. Action I uploaded the judgments of the Supreme Court and the Court of Revision through the RAK Government Portal and requested a stop search from the public prosecution. I received an SMS confirming it was completed successfully. Problem However, in the police system, the judgments of the Supreme Court and the Court of Revision are still not reflected. What should I do?

Q: Dear All, I'm facing a case since 2013 but charges of breach of trust were dropped. However, I suffer to obtain a police certificate from Dubai police. I applied 4 times but still got rejected. Even though charges were dropped in 2018 but the same case still appears on Dubai police online portal. Is this the reason the Dubai police have rejected my application for PCC? I even have the file of the dropped case. What can I do in this case?

Q: In case of police clearance certificate rejection, do the police give a reason for rejection?
