According to the results of the consideration of the complaint, the judge makes a decision in the form of decisions: 1) on the recognition of the action (inaction) or the decision of the appropriate official with illegal or unreasonable and its obligation to eliminate the violation of the violation; 2) On leaving the complaint without satisfaction.

Question 48 procedural time.

Procedural time - this period of time during which a criminal procedure should be committed

In criminal proceedings, it is important to comply with the procedural deadlines. The steady and strict observance of deadlines contributes to a rapid and complete study of all the circumstances of the case, brings the principle of trial to the fact of the commission of a crime, guarantees the timely implementation of legal rights and interests by participants in the criminal process, as well as

provides savings in criminal proceedings.

The procedural time is calculated for hours, days, months (art. 103 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). At the same time, the law sometimes prescribes the immediate execution of procedural action. For example, a copy of the decision on the initiation of a criminal case, made by the investigator or an inquiry, is immediately sent to the prosecutor.

The term is not considered missed if the complaint or other document is handed over to the expiration of the deadline for mail, and for the persons contained in custody, if the complaint or other document expires before the expiration of the detention site (Article 103 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).

The presence of procedural deadlines disciplines all participants in the process, obliges them in a timely manner to implement certain actions. Distribution of time may result in persons obliged to follow them, relevant consequences.

Complaints and petitions in criminal proceedings are a way to respond to the production participants who are not authorized, on actions or inaction of those who have the authority (for some exceptions). Consider the nuances of writing complaints and petitions.

Regulatory regulation

The current editorial office of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation reflects the paths and means of the influence of the participants in the process on its development. We are talking about the side of protection, the victim, the civil respondent and the plaintiff. We must not forget that to file a complaint or a petition have the right and those who have not yet has a certain status. For example, the applicant who applied to a crime statement, or another person who believes that his rights and interests are violated.

CPC is the only regulatory act regulating the process of investigation and consideration. It is a form of incarnation of the criminal law. If the Criminal Code is a list of prohibitions with a description of the penalties for their violation, then the COP is the path, within the boundaries of which are implemented in the life of the norm of the first of these codes.

What is the difference between the petition and complaint

The difference between them is as follows. The first group is the request of the part of the process of committing certain actions by the investigator, a prosecutor or court.

There is no speech about violation of the procedural or criminal law. There are complaints related to the elimination of violations by persons with authority.

Who has the right to the petition

The protection side is a suspect, accused, defendant and defender. By the prosecution - the victim, his representative, a private prosecutor. The list includes civil plaintiff and the defendant. In their quality, the victim and its representatives, accused or his representatives.

The prosecutor within the framework of the trial is also entitled to handle the petitions to the court.

The law is endowed with the right to submit a petition and an expert, formally unrelated to neither the side of protection, or to the side of the accusation. The petition and complaints in the criminal proceedings are submitted to the investigator (investigator), the prosecutor (performing supervisory functions during the investigation).

Persons for filing petitions

Petitions are submitted in such cases:

  • the need to perform actions or decisions with the impact on the rights and interests of citizens, both participating and not related to the proceedings (for example, the acquisition of evidence);
  • recognition of the applicant's procedural status (for example, the civil plaintiff, the victim);
  • about the termination of the case;
  • on the direction of the case to the prosecutor;
  • about changing the amount of accusation or qualifications of actions of the suspect or the accused;
  • on the investigation and consideration of the case in a special order or with the participation of the court of jury.

It should be noted that the deadlines for the application of the petitions are not limited (the natural limitation is the beginning and end of investigation and trial).

Flow methods

The law gives the right to declare his request in oral or writing. If it is verbally declared about it, then this information is recorded in the Protocol, which records the investigative action or the court session.

The written statement is more reliably: having a copy about the adoption mark on your hands, it's easier then to prove that the appeal with the appropriate request took place. The adoption mark is set by an officer of the office or an official who directly adopted a statement (investigator, investigator, an employee of the throat). In the case of the court, it is better to contact the Office in advance.

The things described relate to the same and petitions and complaints in the criminal process.

Writing scheme

Complaints and petitions in the criminal process are compiled according to a single scheme:

  • name of the body or initials of the official;
  • information about the applicant (F. I. O., place of residence, procedural status);
  • circumstances prompted to contact a petition or complaint;
  • why consent to the request is beneficial;
  • references to regulatory acts (most often Code of Criminal Procedure, acts of the Constitutional Court);
  • the essence of the request (appoint an examination, conduct interrogation, etc.);
  • signature and submission date.

Consideration of petitions in criminal proceedings

The person leading the investigation, or the judge decide on the petition immediately or no later than 3 days after his statement. Sometimes the decision of the decision is postponed within the court session or investigative action during which it is stated.

If he was sent in writing through the office in advance, then the consideration is made during the nearest visit to the investigator with the participation of relevant persons or a court session if it was postponed.

The decision made is issued in the decision. Stakeholders have the right to appeal it.

Rates for complaints

The current editorial office of the Code of Criminal Procedure gives the right to appeal against the actions and inaction of the subject of the authority to any person who believes that his rights and interests are affected. The law does not have any restrictions on what to complain, as in the case of applications.

If the time of the investigation is violated, people have the right to compare to the head of the investigative department or the prosecutor. If Volokita takes place in court, turn to the Chairman of the Court.

Extrajudicial procedure appeal

The decision of the decisions is within the competence of the head of the investigative body (the head of the investigation department is not endowed with such powers), the prosecutor and judges.

The first step is the head of the investigative department, the second is the prosecutor, the third is the court. At the same time, the participant of the process has the right to complain directly to the prosecutor's office or to court.

According to its form, the complaint is similar to the petition, but instead of the benefit from satisfying a request, the author describes what exactly the violation of the norms of the law is.

More paper falls on the table primarily precisely the prosecutor. Regardless of the addressee of the complaint there are several solutions:

  • complete agreement with the arguments of the complaint;
  • partial consent with arguments;
  • full refusal to satisfy the complaint.

According to the results, a decree is made, a copy of which is necessarily referred to, including the applicant.

If the complaint is simultaneously submitted to the court and the prosecutor's office, the prosecutor suspends the production and is waiting for a court decision.

Features of trial

The proceedings on the complaint is made in the district court at the place of production of the investigation. The judge must call the stakeholders not later than 5 days after the receipt of documents.

The participation of the investigator or the prosecutor, as well as the defender, legal representative. If the author of the complaint has no status, he is called, his lawyer, the investigator and the prosecutor.

If caused not appeared on the proceedings, the judge is entitled to hold a meeting without their participation.

The judge makes a decision exclusively on the basis of the materials provided by the applicant, unlike the prosecutor, which the complaints are not limited to the framework and have the right to demand additional materials. At the same time, the applicant has the right to declare a petition in the trial of the court session on the court of additional information and documents.

The court has 2 options: agree with the complaint and demand to eliminate the detected violations or refuse a statement by recognizing it unreasonable.

Dates of appeal

As a general rule, the term of consideration of the complaint - 3 days, if necessary, the time of the proceedings extended up to 10 days. In reality, the deadlines for consideration of complaints are much longer (takes place at least a month). Given the workload of law enforcement officers, it is not surprising.

In contrast to the petitions, the complaint is fed most often at certain time frames, and sometimes the deadlines are not established (for example, in case of refusal to initiate the case).

Finally

Writing complaints and petitions - the prerogative of the participants in the criminal proceedings that do not have authority (sometimes, where it is directly indicated by law, complaints and petitions are entitled to submit both the investigator and the prosecutor).

In the remaining cases, they are given ordinary citizens. Special requirements for applications are not presented, they are not paid by the state duty.

Time restrictions are set for complaints, requests can be declared at any time and repeatedly repeat them when deviating. How to write a petition? Samples are presented above in the article.
