Supreme Court

Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç has proposed the necessity of drafting a new constitution in the wake of a deepening disagreement between the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court over the imprisonment of MP Can Atalay.

The minister's proposition aligns with the long-standing efforts of the government.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be tried at the International Court of Justice in The Hague amid escalating tensions in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The move is part of a Plan B if the Supreme Court rules against plans to deport migrants who enter the UK illegally to Rwanda to claim asylum there

The best way to resolve the ongoing row between the two high courts is the new constitution, as the current charter has contradictory articles about the duties and responsibilities of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeals, Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç has said.

With an overwhelming majority, MPs have voted to lift the immunity of 11 parliamentarians from the extreme-right Spartans party over their alleged links to jailed neo-Nazi figure Ilias Kasidiaris.

The decision lifts the immunity of 11 of the 12 MPs elected with the Spartans in June 2013, one of whom has since declared himself to be an independent MP.

The Supreme Court of Appeals has decided to file criminal complaints against members of the Constitutional Court over a profound disagreement on the case of imprisoned Workers' Party of Türkiye (TİP) lawmaker Can Atalay, in a first and unprecedented legal dispute in the history of the Turkish judiciary.

An İzmir court will hear a case that has remained unsolved for 45 years as its file was forgotten on the shelf of the courthouse in 1977.

The land registration case was sent back to the local court by the higher court for the reexamination of the decision in 1977. However, the officials in the courthouse failed to transfer the file during its relocation to another building.

The Greek Parliament's Ethics Committee unanimously agreed on the lifting the immunity of 11 lawmakers of the far-right Spartiates (Spartans) party, following a request by the Supreme Court which is investigating accusations of electoral fraud during this year's legislative elections.

The request will not have to be submitted to the Parliament's plenary for a vote. 

In the capital municipal council WCC-DB, "Spasi Sofia" will have 23 municipal councilors, for GERB-SDS the mandates are 14, "BSP for Bulgaria" has 9 mandates.

"Vazrazhdane" will have 8 municipal councilors in the Sofia municipality, three each will be from "There Is Such a People" and local coalition KOD. One will be the municipal councilor from VMRO.

The Supreme Administrative Court annulled the Central Elections Commission's decision regarding the annulment of the machine vote. This means that Bulgarians can vote by machine on the Sunday runoff. Appeals from yesterday's vote have been dismissed.

The decision of the Supreme Court cannot be appealed. It is up to the CEC to make a decision.
