AI generated

The court allowed the victim's request to be constituted as an assistant and to open the criminal instruction following the dismissal of the case. The victim argued that the archiving order violated their statutory right to participate in the proceedings under the 1987 Code of Criminal Procedure. The court ruled that the law explicitly grants the victim a five-day window to simultaneously request assistant status and the initiation of the instruction upon notification of the archiving decision.
