MoI order rejected in Bedoun, Pakistani entangle

Selling pills to teens ... expat acquitted

By Jaber Al-Humoud

KUWAIT CITY, Dec 10: The Administrative Court cancelled Interior Ministry’s decision that rejected an application submitted by a Kuwaiti woman for vehicle registration book on behalf of a Bedoun man who acquired Pakistani nationality.

According to the case file, the application was rejected under the pretext of the plaintiff violating residency law.

The man, upon acquiring Pakistani nationality, authorized the Kuwaiti woman to carry out official transactions on his behalf but the Interior Ministry rejected an application submitted for his vehicle registration book, which led to the lawsuit. The ministry decided not to renew the vehicle registration book, because the man had violated residency law.

Attorney Muhammad Al-Hussaini representing the Kuwaiti woman affirmed that owner of the car was originally Bedoun who acquired Pakistani nationality based on a warning issued to his father to remedy his status while he was working for the Ministry of Education in 1989. The lawyer explained that owner of the vehicle subsequently obtained the nationality of his father (Pakistani). He went ahead to implore the court to cancel the ministry’s decision, which denied him the vehicle registration book.

Expat acquitted:

The Criminal Court acquitted an Egyptian of possessing and selling Tramadol to teenagers in cafés and commercial complexes, reports Annahar daily.

Meanwhile, the Civil Court ordered a citizen to pay KD 5,000 compensation to a police officer for offending and insulting him when he imposed punishment – three months imprisonment – on the citizen.

Freed on bail:

The Criminal Court has acquitted three citizens all of whom are believed to be in their 20s – one of them working for a military institution – for kidnapping a 15-year-old girl, who was reported absconding by the family, reports Al-Anba daily.

Without going into details, the daily said the court decided to abstain from pronouncing the verdict and released them on KD 500 bail each.

The court also ordered the trio to submit a pledge of good conduct for one year.
