The Board of Grievances: Transporting pilgrims without proper permits will result in accountability and punishment

upheld The Board of Grievances, represented by the Administrative Court of Appeal in the Makkah region, the holy sites without proper Hajj permits.
The court explained in its ruling that the plaintiff failed to provide any evidence to refute the violation documented in the official report. This report was corroborated by the confessions of the transported individuals, who admitted to an agreement with the driver to transport them to the holy sites for a fee. Furthermore, the location of the arrest was noted, and the plaintiff presented no credible evidence to contradict this. Official reports and confessions are considered legally valid forms of evidence unless refuted by counter-evidence.
The ruling affirmed that the default assumption regarding declarations is validity, and mere claims are not considered in the face of what has been legally established. It stressed that transporting violators without Hajj permits is a violation that warrants accountability and punishment, reflecting the judicial approach in the Kingdom to consolidate the prestige of regulations and enhance adherence to the procedures regulating the Hajj season, and to protect the security and safety of the guests of God, in implementation of the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Highness the Crown Prince to fully comply with regulations and instructions, and to confront anything that would disrupt the integrity of the procedures or affect the performance of the ritual.
