English translation of the principle

Prohibition on connecting electricity to a building in which a violation of the licence conditions occurs. Its purpose. The public interest and the interests of individuals. Establishment that harm to these two interests has ceased. The Municipality’s refusal to grant the certificate confirming the building’s compliance with the requirements, necessary for connecting electricity. There is no basis for it. The defence relating thereto. A manifestly untenable defence; failure to respond to it does not vitiate the judgment.
Arabic original
حظر توصيل التيار الكهربائي للمبني الذي تحدث به مخالفة لشروط الترخيص. الغاية منه. المصلحة العامة ومصلحة الأفراد. ثبوت مزايلة الإضرار بهاتين المصلحتين. امتناع البلدية عن منح الشهادة باستيفاء المبني للاشتراطات واللازمة لتوصيل التيار الكهربائي. لا وجه له. الدفاع المتعلق بذلك. دفاع ظاهر الفساد لا يعيب الحكم عدم الرد عليه.
