The Constitutional Court dismissed the appeal because the appellant failed to precisely define the object of the appeal and did not adequately raise the constitutional question before the lower court. The appellant was invited to clarify these deficiencies but did not respond within the prescribed ten-day period. Consequently, the court ruled that the appeal could not be known due to these procedural defects.
