English term or phrase: absolute discharge

Hello,
It is a term related to law. All what I know about it is the English definition. Those terms along with their definitions are related to British law as it is mentioned.
Absolute Discharge :
"the court takes no further action against offender,but the offence and the discharge will appear on his criminal record".
I would like to know its equivalent meaning in Arabic. By the way I have a law dictionary,Faruqi's Law Dictionary, but could not find the meaning. I would be grateful to get a help from u.

إفراج مطلق

Explanation:
It is important to realize that "discharge" in "absolute discharge" does not mean "dropping the charges" or "dismissing the case." Only the defendant is dismissed.

In some countries, the offense remains on the reconrd. In some other countries, the record is wiped clean. But the chrages are not dropped.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the topic:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_discharge

"In Britain, an absolute discharge is a decision given by a court in which no sentence is given but in which a criminal conviction is recorded in the offender's criminal record. Under the Crime and Disorder Act, 1988 an absolute discharge can only be granted in exceptional circumstances."

The same encyclopedia also reports:

"In Canadian law, an absolute discharge is a sentence that carries no penalty nor conditions and leaves no criminal record. It is used in cases where a defendant pleads or is found guilty of a crime but where it is not thought appropriate to punish him or her."

thank you for answering.In fact the first answer which is اسقاط التهمةبشكل مطلقdoes not go with the definition that says the offence will appear in the one's record.i was not totally convinced with the second answer that includes سرايا النيابة.Is it the same as court? I do not really know.There are maybe similar answers to some extent but i took the time factor into consideration. THank you for all of you. I would like to say that sometimes the treanslated terms are influenced by the register used in one country may be different from that of another which can at least makes slight difference even though we all understand the definition in the source language.

إطلاق سراح لأسباب معينة

Explanation:
كما ذكرت بأن المحكمة سوف لن تأخذ أية إجراءات قضائية أخرى تجاه الجانح لهذا فيتم إطلاق سراحه لأسباب معينة، لكن تبقى الجنحة وأمر إطلاق سراحه مدونة في سجله الجنائي. أتمنى لك حظاً موفقاً

أمر قضائي بالإفراج المطلق عن متهم مدان

Explanation:
الإدانة قائمة، إلا أن حماية لحقوق المتهم ودون الإضرار بالمصلحة العامة يصدر القاضي أمر بالإقراج عن المتهم مع ثبات التهمة عليه. لاحض أن احكم قد صدر وما زال قائماً كما هو مبين أدناه:
CONDITIONAL AND ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE
... / Period for which appearance notice, etc., continues in force / Effect of discharge / Where person bound by probation order convicted of offence.
736. (1) Where an accused, other than a corporation, pleads guilty to or is found guilty of an offence, other than an offence for which a minimum punishment is prescribed by law or an offence punishable, in the proceedings commenced against him, by imprisonment for fourteen years or for life, the court before which he appears may, if it considers it to be in the best interests of the accused and not contrary to the public interest, instead of convicting the accused, by order direct that the accused be discharged absolutely or on the conditions prescribed in a probation order.
