Tutkinnanjohtaja oli salannut esitutkintapöytäkirjasta osan asianomistajan

kuulustelukertomuksesta ja osia eräistä muista asiakirjoista erittäin tärkeän

yksityisen edun turvaamiseksi. Salattuja osia ei ollut toimitettu asianosaisille tai

tuomioistuimeen. Kysymys siitä, voitiinko poliisiviranomainen määrätä tuomaan

raiskauksesta syytetyn A:n vaatimuksesta oikeudenkäymiskaaren 17 luvun 40 §:n 1

momentin nojalla asiakirjat salaamattomina tuomioistuimeen.

Valituslupakortti sisältää kuvauksen siitä kysymyksestä, johon liittyen asiassa on

myönnetty valituslupa. Sen sisältö ei sido korkeinta oikeutta eikä rajoita asian

käsittelyä siltä osin kuin valituslupa on myönnetty.
