The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal a case where the District Court limited a detainee's contact with others for 60 days generally. The prosecutor sought to restrict contact only with specific individuals and set a later expiration date, raising the question of their authority to alter the general restriction. The Court decided to allow the appeal to determine whether the prosecutor possessed the legal power to change the scope and duration of the existing contact restriction.

Käräjäoikeus oli rajoittanut tutkintavangin yhteydenpitoa yleisesti muiden

henkilöiden kanssa siten, että rajoitus oli voimassa 60 päivää. Rikostarkastaja

määräsi yhteydenpitorajoituksen koskemaan vain tiettyjä muita henkilöitä ja

rajoituksen voimassaolon päättymään käräjäoikeuden päättämää myöhemmin.

Kysymys siitä, oliko rikostarkastajalla ollut toimivalta muuttaa

yhteydenpitorajoitusta.

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

käsittelyä siltä osin kuin valituslupa on myönnetty.
