Basing the judgment on that which has no foundation in the case papers. Vitiates it. The judgment's reliance on other evidence does not suffice, since evidence in criminal matters is mutually supporting.

إقامة الحكم على ما ليس له أصل في الأوراق. يعيبه. لا يغني استناد الحكم لأدلة أخرى إذ الأدلة في المواد الجزائية متساندة.
