The tendency of the judiciary to delimitation the amount of whipping

Criminal courts have recently ruled that whipping more than 74 strikes while maintaining the nature of punishment, relying on the multiplicity and necessity of aggravated punishment. The basis for such a judicial action is sometimes the title of the multiplicity of criminal behavior and, in fact, the imposition of punishment on multiple crimes and not a single act; However, the legislature has explicitly banned the collection of punishments for criminal offenses. Sometimes, the multiplicity of different dignity on a single verb, including the soul of multiplicity, is the basis for justifying whipping.This approach, while leading to the development of the whipping penalty in a quantitative manner and in many cases exceeding the whipping limit, is, contrary to the jurisprudential principles, the limitation of the punishment of whipping; On the other hand, it is not compatible with the legislative policy of reducing the corporal punishment and the desire for social punishment.The practice of recent years has been adopted in a situation where the Islamic Penal Code in 1392, by classifying the punishments of whipping, lays the whip on the sixth floor and the maximum punishment of this class is 74 blows. Punishment for more than 74 blows has no legal definition except in the prescribed cases, and it goes beyond the limits of the penal classes, and therefore it is not possible to comply with the penal code.The formation of this procedure has also undermined the "principle of legality of punishment" emphasized by Article 36 of the Constitution.
