English translation of the principle

Reliance in conviction on the statements of the appellant and another accused in the prosecution’s investigation and on the technical report, rather than the evidence derived from searching his dwelling. The challenge alleging invalidity of the dwelling search. Has no basis. Reason therefor. Invalidity of the search requires exclusion of the evidence derived from it, not the events that occurred on the day it was conducted.
Arabic original
التعويل في الإدانة على أقوال الطاعن ومتهم آخر بتحقيق النيابة والتقرير الفني دون الدليل المستمد من تفتيش مسكنه. النعي ببطلان تفتيش المسكن. لا محل له. علة ذلك. ما يقتضيه بطلان التفتيش هو استبعاد الأدلة المستمدة منه لا الوقائع التي حدثت يوم إجرائه.
