AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected the defendant's requests for protection of procedural legality regarding the rejection of a judge recusal motion. The defendant, accused of sexual violence and other crimes, requested the removal of the presiding judge during the main hearing, which the district court denied under Article 42(5) of the Criminal Procedure Act. The Supreme Court held that such appeals are inadmissible because criminal proceedings were still ongoing, as they can only be filed after the process concludes or in specific detention-related scenarios.

Zahteve obtoženega S.C. za varstvo zakonitosti se zavržejo.

[JEDRO]

Zoper sklep o zavrženju zahteve za izločitev predsednice sodečega senata zahteva za varstvo zakonitosti ni dovoljena.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Zoper obtoženega S.C. teče pred Okrožnim sodiščem v Ljubljani kazenski postopek zaradi kaznivih dejanj spolnega nasilja po 2. odstavku 181. člena, protipravnega odvzema prostosti po 4. odstavku 143. člena in tatvine po 1. odstavku 211. člena KZ. Obtoženec je ponovno dne 27.4.2007 pisno in dne 12.6.2007 ustno na glavni obravnavi zahteval izločitev predsednice senata. Sodeči senat je dne 12.6.2007 na glavni obravnavi obe zahtevi na podlagi 5. odstavka 42. člena Zakona o kazenskem postopku (ZKP) zavrgel (zapisnik o glavni obravnavi na list. št. 270).

Zoper ta sklep je obtoženec vložil tri zahteve za varstvo zakonitosti, eno z dne 20.6. in dve z dne 9.7.2007.

Zahteve obtoženca za varstvo zakonitosti niso dovoljene.

Po določbah 1. in 4. odstavka 420. člena ZKP se lahko zahteva za varstvo zakonitosti vloži šele po pravnomočno končanem kazenskem postopku. Izjemoma se sme pred pravnomočno končanim kazenskim postopkom vložiti zahteva za varstvo zakonitosti le zoper pravnomočne sklepe o odreditvi pripora in o podaljšanju pripora ob vložitvi obtožnice ali, če jih je izdalo Vrhovno sodišče. Zoper sklep o zavrženju zahteve za izločitev predsednice sodečega senata zahteva za varstvo zakonitosti torej ni dovoljena, saj je kazenski postopek v teku, zato je Vrhovno sodišče na podlagi 2. odstavka 423. člena ZKP zahteve obtoženca za varstvo zakonitosti kot nedovoljene zavrglo.
