File and decision numbers

The esas number and the karar number

The esas number separates the case or the enforcement file that was opened. The karar number is the decision’s own number in that file. E. abbreviates esas. K. abbreviates karar. The year of one need not match the year of the other.

On the paper: On the head of a decision, E. and K. sit side by side. E. is the file. K. is the decision.

The paper shows the court or the chamber, then a year and a sequence. The esas sequence is given when the file opens. The karar sequence starts when a decision is made. One file can therefore show an E. and, later, a K. Reading them as one number mixes up which paper you are looking for.

In an enforcement file the esas is also the way the pursuit is numbered. In a criminal file the investigation number and the trial esas are not the same box. A değişik iş number is not a short name for the esas. Each one sits on its own paper.

A number on the UYAP screen does not carry the date of service or the finality stamp. Do not type the number into this site. The official texts are on the legislation system. The citizen UYAP portal is for looking up an open file. It does not change what the number means.

This page does not replace the official text.
