About this statute

The text discusses several criminal-procedure rules, including court power to hear any person, criminal limitation periods, and complaint timing rules. النص يجمع أحكاماً قضائية عن تقادم الدعوى الجنائية، وقطع المدة بإجراءات التحقيق أو الاتهام أو المحاكمة، مع أمثلة على الإعلان الصحيح، وعدم تأثير إجراءات الدعوى المدنية وحدها. If the criminal case ends for a case-specific reason, that does not stop the linked civil case. The text also says a complaint may only be brought within three months from the victim’s knowledge of the crime and offender, and that in some complaint-based offences the victim may withdraw the complaint before final judgment. In misdemeanor cases, the criminal action expires after three years from the day the offense occurred, but valid investigation, accusation, trial, criminal-order, or properly notified inquiry steps interrupt the period and restart it.
