The Constitutional Court denied the appeal filed by the applicant against the Supreme Administrative Court's decision. The core issue concerned a constitutional question that had already been resolved in a prior plenary ruling from January 1996. Consequently, the court confirmed the lower court's judgment and rejected the applicant's request for a new decision.
