Who may ask for the judgment in an acquittal case to be published, and what conditions does the provision attach to that request?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
The provision allows an acquitted accused whose case has become final to make the request. A practice file should hold the certified copy of the judgment, together with papers showing the date the acquittal became final, and the papers identifying the prosecutor who indicted the case and the local public prosecution office to which that prosecutor belongs, since the request must go to that office.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes every condition in the sentence at face value: only the defendant in a case that ended in an acquittal and has become final may make the request, only within the period the provision sets from the date the acquittal became final, and only to the local public prosecution office (including a branch office) where the prosecutor who indicted that case is posted, asking for publication of the certified judgment of that finalised case on the Ministry of Justice website.
Another reading notices what the sentence does not say: it sets who may apply, to whom, and within what period, but it leaves the form of the request, the office's procedure for handling it, and what publication on the website looks like open, so the provision alone does not show how a request is made or what follows from it.
Your judgment
Once the judgment is final, what in the file fixes which local public prosecution office the request must be sent to?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We revisit this card if the provision is amended to change the period, the recipient office, or who may apply, or if a court or agency decision clarifies what publication on the website involves.
