The National Federal Supreme Court River Nile and North States Circuit Criminal Circuit His Excellency: - Abdelaziz Fath AL Rahman Abdeen His Excellency: -Mohammed Abdelrahman Mustafa His Excellency: -Dr. Adlan Alhaj Mahmoud The trial of Khalid Dawood Omer N/ m. ein / f. j / 13/20167 Memo Judgment The record of this case was presented upon the examination and request for inspection; application submitted by advocate Alwaleed Abdullah on behalf the accused, asking for examination of the documents of the complaint No / 24/2016. In the beginning, my opinion is to subject the proceeding of the above trial to examination and review in accordance with Section 188 of the Criminal Procedure Act. The facts on which the conviction is based could be summarized that the accused hit the victim many times on the face with a crystal bottle full of oil.

Upon scrutinizing the papers, it is apparent from the evidence submitted in the trial that the convicted hit the victim with a crystal bottle full of oil. This caused hurt to the victim in her neck as confirmed by the medical report (prosecution document No 1). That ended in a deficiency in eye sight amounting to 10% as per the medical committee report.
