Federal Criminal Law No. 3/1987, Articles 2, 4, 10/10, 57/1 of
Federal Traffic Law No. 21/1995 as amended by Federal Law
No. 12/2007 and Articles 1 and 25 of its executive rules.
Upon facing the defendant with the above charges, he
admitted his guilt regarding the acts claimed by the Public
Prosecution and that he shall assume responsibility for the
accident and its consequences. He stated that on the date of
the accident that occurred in New Sheikh Khalifah Street, he
was coming from the Port driving car no. 74951, licensed from
Abu Dhabi, Mitsubishi Canter Refrigerator, owned by Taqder
Company for Vegetables and Fruit, on his way to Dubai from
the Port via Alsaadat Island road. At the crossroad where the
accident occurred, he ignored the red traffic light claiming he
did not see it and that he was driving with a speed of about 80
km. At the crossroad, his car collided with two cars, one of
which was a Pick-Up and the other a Salon. He was injured, as
well as a person named Mohammed Koti accompanying him in
the car. The driver of the Pick-Up car and another person were
injured. While he was in the Department of Traffic, he knew of
the death of the driver of the Pick-Up and he considers this
death as an Act of Allah.
As his confession is evidence of its contents, the court treats
the defendant according to his express and clear confession;
and the court decides that he is guilty of the charges he is
accused of and which are indicated in the bill of indictment.
As for the penalties, Islamic Law states that the penalty for
manslaughter is Deyyah and Kaffarah. As no assignment of the
Deyyah is proven to the court, and as the value of the Deyyah
is two hundred thousand dirhams (AED 200,000), the court
orders the accused to pay the Deyyah of the aggrieved Joseph
Asio Galviz, in addition to the Islamic Kaffarah.
As for other crimes the defendant is charged with, the court
shall punish him with the appropriate penalty indicated in the
Federal Criminal Law and Federal Traffic Law as amended by
Federal Law no 12/2007.
As the crimes committed by defendant are interrelated and
constitute an integral whole, they should be considered as one
single crime and should be punished by the maximum penalty
in application of the provisions of Article 87 of Federal Law.
In view of the above,
The court decides the following in the presence of the
defendant:
1.The defendant Shamir Mon Ary Barambil Hamza Ary
Barambil, Indian, Muslim, 24, is found guilty with the
crimes of: manslaughter according to the Islamic Law,
involuntarily causing personal injuries and damages,
ignoring the red traffic light and not taking the due care
and caution and its rules, ordering him to pay the Deyyah
of the aggrieved JOSEPH ASIO GALVIZ of the equivalent of
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UAE DIRHAMS (AED 200,000),
3 month sentence and the Kaffarah stated by Islamic Law.
2.The right to claim torts shall be preserved for all
individuals affected by the accident.
3.The driving license of the defendant shall be suspended
for six months.
