Article 196 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials

English translation

The court may rule to set aside the judgment in absentia if it finds therein a substantive defect or a procedural defect that cannot be corrected, or finds that it is contrary to law, whether the opposing party has invoked these defects or the court has noticed them of its own motion.
Arabic original
للمحكمة ان تقضي بإلغاء الحكم الغيابي إذا وجدت به عيبا موضوعيا أو عيبا شكليا لا يمكن تصحيحه، أو وجدت أنه مخالف للقانون، سواء كان المعارض قد تمسك بهذه العيوب أو ان المحكمة قد لاحظتها من تلقاء نفسها .
