Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 58

Summary: - The appellant’s request for a ruling refraining from pronouncing punishment can be considered only upon allowing the appeal and examining the merits of the case. If this does not occur, the request is inadmissible. Rule: There is no basis for considering the third appellant’s request for leniency and for treatment pursuant to Article 81 of the Penal Code by a ruling declaring that punishment shall not be pronounced against him, since this request can be considered only upon allowing the appeal and examining the merits of the case. This did not occur in his appeal, which this Court concluded was inadmissible on the merits. Accordingly, his request in this respect is inadmissible.
