Prosecution and crime
The iddianame number
The iddianame number separates the indictment the prosecutor drew from the other preparatory papers. After acceptance, the file moves to a court esas. Service of the indictment is not the number itself.
On the paper: On the first page of an indictment, the prosecutor’s figure and the date it was sent to court are separate lines.
The figure at the top does not show that the charge is accurate. The status of an accused person or a complainant is not taken from this figure either. The service date is a separate field on the envelope or on the UYAP record. A figure being present does not mean service was made.
An indictment that was sent back and an indictment that was accepted may not be the same text. A return does not mean the number was deleted. If a new indictment is drawn, a new figure can appear. Which one reached the court is read from the acceptance note.
The current text is on the official page of the Criminal Procedure Code. This guide does not copy the article and does not produce an acceptance. The related step is the article on service.
This page does not replace the official text.
