The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the criminal appeal as inadmissible, ordering the appellant to pay 600,000 lei in judicial expenses to the state. The dispute concerned the procedural admissibility of an appeal against a lower court's decision to join four related criminal cases, which the appellate court had previously rejected on the grounds that such procedural rulings could only be challenged together with the final judgment. The court held that the Military Court of Appeal had acted as a court of cassation (recurs) rather than a court of appeal, meaning its decision was not subject to a further appeal under the relevant provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure; consequently, no new appeal could be filed against that specific judgment. The decisive legal basis included Article 3851 letters c) and e) of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the scope of appealable decisions and Article 38515 point 1 letter a) for the dismissal of the inadmissible petition.

Asupra recursului penal de față;

În baza lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Prin încheierea din 5 mai 2004, Tribunalul Teritorial București a dispus conexarea la dosarul nr. 89/2004, a dosarelor cu numerele 90, 91 și 92 din 2004, toate având ca obiect plângerile pronunțate de d.m.

Împotriva acestei încheieri petiționarul a declarat recurs, iar Curtea Militară de Apel, prin decizia nr. 69 din 15 iunie 2004 l-a respins ca inadmisibil.

Instanța de apel a reținut că legea nu prevede posibilitatea recurării separate a încheierii prin care se dispune reunirea cauzelor, potrivit art. 3851 alin. (2) C. proc. pen., acestea pot fi atacate odată cu sentința sau decizia recurată.

Împotriva acestei decizii petiționarul a declarat recurs fără a motiva în scris motive pentru care o consideră nelegală, iar la termenul fixat pentru judecată nu s-a prezentat.

Recursul este inadmisibil.

Potrivit art. 3851 lit. c) C. proc. pen., pot fi atacate cu recurs sentințele pronunțate, printre altele, de Curtea Militară de Apel, iar conform lit. e) din același text și deciziile pronunțate, ca instanță de apel, de Curtea Militară de Apel.

În speță, Curtea Militară de Apel s-a pronunțat ca instanță de recurs și pe cale de consecință un nou recurs nu mai este posibil.

Ca atare, recursul formulat de petiționar va fi respins, ca inadmisibil, în temeiul art. 38515 pct. 1 lit. a) C. proc. pen.

Conform art. 192 alin. (2) din același cod, recurentul va fi obligat la cheltuieli judiciare către stat.

PENTRU ACESTE MOTIVE

ÎN NUMELE LEGII
