Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs: Correction

Arabic

The Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs notes that a material error occurred when publishing the Military Judiciary Law promulgated by Royal Decree 87/2022 published in Official Gazette 1471, issued on 17 Jumada Al-Awwal 1444 corresponding to 11 December 2022, as article 22 was provided as follows:

Article 22

A primary court is hereby established consisting of a president whose rank is not lower than captain, and a sufficient number of judges, whose ranks are not lower than lieutenant.

The seat of the court shall be in the Governorate of Muscat, and it may hold its sessions in a place other than its headquarters by a decision by the president at the request of the president of the court. Judgments are issued by 3 (three) judges, and in misdemeanours and infractions by a single judge, and the president may form a misdemeanour court of 3 (three) judges in the cases that require it.

And the correct version is:

Article 22

A primary court is hereby established consisting of a president whose rank is not lower than captain, and a sufficient number of judges, whose ranks are not lower than lieutenant.

The seat of the court shall be in the Governorate of Muscat, and it may hold its sessions in a place other than its headquarters by a decision by the president at the request of the president of the court. Judgments are issued by 3 (three) judges in felonies, and in misdemeanours and infractions by a single judge, and the president may form a misdemeanour court of 3 (three) judges in the cases that require it.

So it had to be noted.
