Law of Criminal Procedure

If the investigator finds, upon completion of the investigation, that there is no sufficient evidence or grounds to file a case, he shall recommend to the head of the relevant department to close the case and release the accused, unless he is detained for another reason. The order of the head of the relevant department supporting the same shall be effective, except in major crimes where the order shall not be valid unless endorsed by the Chairman of the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution or designee. Said order shall state the grounds therefor and be communicated to the private right claimant notifying him of his right to claim private right before the competent court pursuant to Article 16 of this Law, or to his heirs at his place of residence in case of his death. Said notification shall be in accordance with a form designed for such purpose and signed by the investigator and the head of department. A certified copy of said notification shall be delivered to the claimant of private right, or his heirs, after signing the original acknowledging receipt, for submission to the competent court. This shall also apply to the order for closing the case provided for in Article 64 of this Law.
