English translation of the principle

The customer’s cessation of payment of his debts purchased by the State. Its effect. The Public Prosecution may request that he be declared bankrupt even after his death or retirement, within the two years following that event; otherwise, the right to request his bankruptcy lapses. The reason for this: so that the fate of the estate does not remain pending for an indeterminate time.
Arabic original
توقف العميل عن دفع ديونه المشتراة من الدولة. أثره. للنيابة أن تطلب شهر إفلاسه ولو بعد وفاته أو اعتزاله خلال السنتين التاليتين لذلك وإلا سقط الحق في طلب إفلاسه. علة ذلك: حتى لا يظل مصير التركة معلقا لزمن غير معلوم.
