Imam Wins After Electric Theft Claim

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal formally in a case brought by a mosque imam against his employer. The imam was accused of stealing electricity from the mosque, which led to a deduction of 3,600 dinars from his salary. The case initially started when the Mosque Welfare Committee filed a complaint against the imam for illegally connecting electricity, resulting in an investigation and the deduction of the amount over a period of 24 months before an administrative decision was issued approving the deduction. The imam defended his innocence, presenting reports confirming that he did not steal the electricity. The court decided to review all the evidence and then rulings mandated the defendant entity to pay 3,600 dinars with 9% interest, and dismissed the remaining claims. The imam appealed the judgment to the Court of Cassation, but the court dismissed the appeal on procedural grounds due to lack of proper legal authorization, as the appeal was not proven on a ruling valued at 13,700 dinars. Thus, the final judgment remained in favor of the entity to pay the amount.
