Key legal question
Whether the victim had standing to appeal the dismissal of a preliminary investigation in an offence prosecuted ex officio.
Extracted holding
The victim may appeal only if he filed a criminal complaint or asserted a civil claim; otherwise he lacks standing under § 99(1) StPO.
Extracted reasoning
For offences prosecuted ex officio, the prosecutor protects the public interest. The statute expressly limits notification and appeal rights of the victim to the listed cases, and the court refused to extend standing beyond the wording and legislative intent.
