English translation of the principle

The judgment's conclusion that an indivisible connection exists between the offences of trafficking in a narcotic and possessing it with intent to give it to another, and its imposition on him of a single penalty falling within the range of the penalty prescribed for the first offence. The challenge concerning the second offence is unavailing.

انتهاء الحكم إلى قيام ارتباط لا يقبل التجزئة بين جريمتي الاتجار في المخدر وحيازته بقصد إعطائه للغير وتوقيعه عليه عقوبة واحدة تدخل في نطاق العقوبة المقررة للجريمة الأولى. النعي بشان الجريمة الثانية غير منتج.
