Court rejects appeal of man convicted of forging degree
The Court of Cassation has dismissed the appeal of an Asian man convicted of forging a university degree after he failed to surrender to serve his sixmonth prison sentence. He was found guilty of using a fake certificate in 2022 in the Capital Governorate, fully aware it was forged. The Lower Criminal Court sentenced him to six months in prison, set bail at BD100 to suspend the sentence, and ordered his deportation. He filed both an appeal and an objection, but the verdict remained unchanged. Despite this, he did not report to serve the sentence and instead submitted a final appeal to the Court of Cassation. The court rejected the appeal, citing Article 31 of the Cassation Law, which requires a person sentenced to imprisonment to submit for enforcement before an appeal can be considered. Judges noted that a cassation appeal does not suspend enforcement of a custodial sentence once it becomes final. The Public Prosecution confirmed the man had made no effort to serve his sentence. The appeal was ruled inadmissible.
