Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2056

The issuance of a pardon of the sentence by His Highness the Amir of the country before determination of the cassation appeal. Precludes the Court of Cassation from proceeding with consideration of the appeal. The basis for this. - Issuance of the Amiri Pardon Decree for 2002 does not preclude consideration and determination of the appeals of those covered by it, nor does it prevent a ruling that the Public Prosecution’s appeal, in which it faults the judgment for treating the convicted person with leniency in the absence of its justifications, may not be considered. The basis and reason for this.
