English translation of the principle

All charges attributed to the accused in the charge sheet under one description because they are of the same type does not preclude each from being the subject of a separate charge. The reason therefor: the legislature has not prescribed a particular form for drafting and arranging charges in the charge sheet.
Arabic original
جميع التهم المنسوبة إلى المتهم في صحيفة الاتهام تحت وصف واحد لتماثلها نوعاً لا يمنع أن تكون كل منها محل تهمة مستقلة. علة ذلك: أن المشرع لم يرسم شكلاً معيناً لصياغة وترتيب التهم في صحيفة الاتهام.
