and signed by the executive manager of the ministry Mr. Issam l Dean Mohammed
Yousif to verify the victim’s birth certificate bearing the registration number: 1774
under the name Nariman Kamal Adam stated in reference to the above mentioned
topic (Review of birth certificate number 1774) I would like to inform you of the
following:
The document enclosed with the request is unclear
Birth and Death certificate became under the jurisdiction of the ministry of
interior with the department of civil registrar
We do not have the authority to review the document in any way unless
through the legal procedures in front of the court or the public prosecution
The authorized court or legal body could direct it inquires to the concerned
authority
The authorized legal body is unquestionably the administration of the civil registration and
therefore as long as the birth registration body is a legal and official body the document is
deemed to be true and official according to article (41) of the evidence law for the year 1994 and
it is easy to establish its true or false nature if the certificate is registered with the official Civil
registrar under page 1774, then the correspondence should be directed to the administration of
civil registration for a conclusive reply of these highly important and crucial documents in the
face of such a serious trail that could be penalized by (death or life imprisonment) and the
importance of reissuing (an exact copy of the original) from the civil registration office since the
matter involves legal procedures and also involves the regulation of public conduct and is the
concern of the child court and/or the criminal procedural court according to (the age and
maturity) and to establish if the victim has passed the age of 18 years or not particularly since
(the investigations on the procedures followed in the claim) or throughout the trial failed to
address the civil registration in the manner of a photocopied image taken by a photocopier and
whether the original of the copy is truly registered on the birth registration log with the civil
registration office and is valid and true to the (copy of a genuine document).
Therefore, I am of the opinion that the documents presented in their present form are not
acceptable and should not be relied on unless proper investigation to their originality has been
conducted particularly since the only relevant evidence in this case (admittance of the accused
and rather the admittance of the victim) and evidence (of pregnancy) and no other evidence
along with the accused undeterred statement beginning from the investigation phase all the way
to trial and cassation phase without change or alteration and therefore, the criminal justice and
the regulations of evidence requires accuracy and proper investigation of these documents
specially that the penalty might lead to (death sentence or life imprisonment). It is also known
that the rules of procedures and that of evidence, that it is lawful in the absence of (proof or
originality of evidence) that the reference sought for evidence in this case shall be established
through age determination (by a medical committee) to establish the age at the time and place of
the crime committed and whether the victim has reached the age of adulthood or not and the
determination is subjected to the estimation and evaluation of the court.
With all this, we see that the procedural justice and the prerequisites of qualitative procedural
jurisdiction according to the regulations of procedural jurisdiction demanded by the law as being
a corner stone of procedural public conduct all demands that what has been stated by the defense
