Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1284

The offence of possession and custody of a psychotropic substance with intent for personal use is independent of the offence of possession custody of the narcotic hashish with intent to traffic. The judgment's application of the rules of connection between them and imposition of the penalty prescribed for the second offence as the more serious. An error. The Court of Cassation has no power to correct it. The rationale thereof: the appellant must not be prejudiced by his appeal. - 347 - Criminal
