Abstract
Re-prosecution of the accused after the issuance of a restraining order is one of the solutions envisaged by the legislature to ensure justice for persons who did not have access to sufficient reasons or reasons at the time of the trial. The grounds for re-prosecuting the accused are in line with the objectives of the criminal proceedings. These include achieving the Judicial truth, preventing norm-breaking in society. The main source of criminal investigation is the prosecutor's office, so the legislator has made the possibility of re-prosecuting the accused based on Article 278 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in this institution. In some cases, depending on the type of charge, the judicial organization and the personality of the perpetrator, step-by-step investigations are carried out in a source other than the prosecutor's office, and it is possible to issue a restraining order. according to the silence of the legislator, this ambiguity has arisen as to what the procedure of re-prosecution will be if the court issues a restraining order? Depending on the position of the court in Judicial system, if a restraining order is issued by the court at the preliminary investigation stage, it is possible to re-prosecute the accused, but contrary to Article 278, if the restraining order is finalized in a higher authority, there is no need to prescribe a higher authority because the court has independence. It is not like the prosecutor's office.
