English translation of the principle

Whenever the accusation is in a single charging document and before a single judicial body, this is more conducive to properly imposing the appropriate punishment. - The court’s assessment that there is no connection between the crimes for which the appellant was tried by a previous judgment and the crimes it is considering in the present proceedings, and that it considers they should be brought undivided before a single judicial body to impose the appropriate punishment. No contradiction.
Arabic original
كلما كان الاتهام في صحيفة واحدة وأمام هيئة قضائية واحدة. كان ذلك أدنى إلى حسن توقيع العقوبة المناسبة. - تقدير المحكمة عدم وجود ارتباط بين الجرائم التي حوكم عليها الطاعن بحكم سابق وبين الجرائم التي تنظرها في الدعوى الماثلة وأنها ترى رفعها غير مجزئة أمام هيئة قضائية واحدة لتوقيع العقوبة المناسبة. لا تناقض.
