The Gadarif State Medical Commission’s report (exhibit 2 of the accusation list of exhibits), included that, the age of accused is assessed as 18 and he is adult, accordingly; as far as it has been proved that he is adult , he will be fully responsible for the criminal liability, even if he is below 18 years, the most important thing is that he has completed 15 and his puberty is proved by conclusive natural symptoms, as established by this Court, therefore, the first reason for requesting review is not viable. As to the second reason, rape is proved by evidence on its broad meaning and the Evidence Act 1994 did not specify a certain measure or mean of evidence to prove it, a distinction shall be made between proving commission of Zinna (adultery) offence and commission of rape. As to the third reason, I agree with applicant in that, the medical assistant is not a doctor, that the report prepared by him id not considered a medical report, but was reliance made on it as evidence? The answer is definitely, No, as he was called as a witness, therefore, reliance was made on his testimony and not his report…. As to the forth reason, it did not include a reason requiring review. As to the fifth reason, in addition to the reply made with regard to the second reason, the expression is meant to describe the act and not its legal classification, therefore, it is not correct to mention that, rape can be proved by the same element as Zinna, and this mistaken concept had led the Trial Court to decide conviction of accused under section (45-c) instead of section (45-b) of the Child Act 2010. The judgment issued by the Court of Appeal, which had cancelled the conviction and punishment was upheld by the judgment to be reviewed and the cancellation has definitely included the compensation decided from one side and from the other side, the judgment to be reviewed did not mention compensation, therefore, no need to discuss that. The judgment issued by the Court of Appeal, upheld by the judgment to be reviewed, had mentioned a significant point, which is the age of the victim and her reaching puberty age, if she is proved to have reached the age of fifteen and her puberty was proved by definite natural symptoms, the applicable law shall be the Penal Code of the year 1991 and not the Child Act of the year 2010, and the competent court is the Criminal Court and not the Child Court,
