Then the resources and benefits of the public treasury were discussed, and also the goals, origins, factors, effects and effects of theft from the public treasury were examined, and finally the opinion of the jurists regarding the verdict of theft from the public treasury was expressed, which is three sentences: (1) Some believe that if the thief has no right to the public treasury and the conditions of theft are present, the sentence for theft will be definite punishment, otherwise theft will be discretionary punishment.
