Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 414

State of Kuwait · Criminal Procedure · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Searching the person of the accused by the person authorized to do so and presenting him to the forensic evidence department to take a urine sample for analysis amounts to no more than interference to the extent permitted by the search authorization. The judgment's adoption of this view in rejecting the appellant's defense in this regard is correct.
Arabic original
تفتيش شخص المتهم بمعرفة المأذون له به وعرضه على الأدلة الجنائية لأخذ عينة بوله لتحليلها لا يعدو تعرضاً بالقدر الذي يبيحه إذن التفتيش. اعتناق الحكم هذا النظر لدى إطراحه دفاع الطاعن في هذا الخصوص صحيح.
