English translation of the principle

A judgment of conviction. Must include the statutory provision pursuant to which it was rendered. Its omission thereof. Invalidates it. Its reference at the outset to the charging provisions whose application the Public Prosecution requested does not shield it from this defect so long as it does not disclose that it adopted them.
Arabic original
الحكم بالإدانة. وجوب اشتماله على نص القانون الذي حكم بموجبه. خلوه منه. يبطله. إشارته في صدره إلى مواد الاتهام التي طلبت النيابة العامة تطبيقها لا يعصمه من هذا العيب طالما لم يفصح عن أخذه بها.
