The subject of the dispute concerns the possibility of appealing the investigating judge’s ruling on establishing a deadline for completing the pre-trial investigation. The court was guided by the fact that although such rulings are not directly specified in the list of those subject to appeal under Article 309 of the Criminal Procedure Code, they actually influence the fate of the pre-trial investigation as a whole. The court also noted that the investigating judge effectively shortened the pre-trial investigation period by establishing a specific term for its completion, which is important both for the quality of the investigation and for the progress of criminal proceedings in general. Moreover, the court noted that at the time of the decision, there was a norm about non-application of pre-trial investigation terms during martial law. The Supreme Court concluded that the investigating judge’s ruling on establishing a deadline for actions necessary to complete the pre-trial investigation is subject to appeal.
