Why my status remains "wanted" in CID headquarters after being acquitted in the misdemeanor court?

Once someone has been acquitted in the misdemeanor court, then why is it showing in CID headquarters that he is wanted in the police station once again?

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the "wanted" status at the CID headquarters after your acquittal in the misdemeanor court.

It is possible that despite your acquittal, the police may still have ongoing investigations or separate legal matters in which you are involved. There are a few reasons why you might still be listed as "wanted":

Ongoing Investigation: There may be an investigation or a pending case unrelated to the acquitted misdemeanor case that is still being pursued, which may require your presence for questioning or further investigation.

Clerical Error: Sometimes, due to delays or administrative errors, the police records may not have been updated following the court's decision, which can cause the system to continue showing you as "wanted."

Separate Legal Matter: If there is a separate matter (civil, criminal, or other legal issue) that has not been fully resolved, the police might still need to take action or call you in for questioning.

I recommend that you visit the CID headquarters or police station to clarify the reason for the "wanted" status and confirm if this is related to the previous case or if it pertains to another matter.

If you are uncertain or need further assistance, I am happy to guide you through the process and ensure that any misunderstanding is resolved.

Please let me know if you need further legal support or help with this matter.

Best regards,

Mohammed Salah

It’s for the same case there is no other case for sure.

Is it possible that after 3 months they can make a new case related to the same case?

You need to submit a request for search cancellation through the Public Prosecution's website, and then visit the Criminal Evidence Department to update their system accordingly.

It’s appealed by public prosecution and the date is 30th April 2024 so I can’t apply for a stop search.

But why it’s showing wanted by CID headquarters if we are not found guilty and acquitted by the court?

I am sure I will be innocent in appeal court also because 100% I haven’t done anything. But the only issue is in the police station where it’s still showing "wanted" by CID headquarters for the same case

The Public Prosecution's appeal against the judgment does not affect your right to obtain a clearance certificate, as long as no conviction has been issued against you.

Therefore, you should pursue this process to obtain proof that you are not wanted.

Where can we get the clearance certificate from?

31 Jan 2025, 07:37

Through the electronic services on the Public Prosecution’s website.

Feel free to contact us by phone for our legal services. We are here to serve you and provide professional legal consultations with care and attention.
