With the disciplinary sanctions pronounced by the KDR, it turns out that Judge Zeka has been found responsible for not taking action in carrying out the official tasks at the time required by law in handling three cases, with which the KDR has concluded that there has been procrastination of subjects.
According to the KRC's decision, issued on November 3, 2022, these subjects have been subject to retrial, and there has been an emergency from the parties for their treatment.
In reasoning on this decision, it is said that the KDR, after assessing the administered evidence and the subject's declaration of the investigation, found that Judge Zeka had not taken the necessary actions to decide on three subjects that had been turned into retrial by the Court of Appeals.
After assessing the administered evidence and the subject's statement of the investigation, the Council found that the subject of the disciplinary investigation had not taken the necessary actions to decide on three (3) C.nr..., C.n.... and Cp.nr... who were turned into retrial by the Court of Appeals, even though the emergency was issued from the side and no obstacle has been found that could influence the non-competitive three subjects”, says the argument.
On the other hand, in reasoning on the KRC's decision, Judge Zeka, with the absence of subjects converted to retrial, has not implemented Article 199 of the Law on Contestimate Procedure.
The “Court of the case will be tasked immediately after reaching the second degree court's decision, to set up the preparation hearing or hearing for the main investigation of the case, which should be held later in the thirty-30 term, day after reaching the second-instance court's decision, as well as to carry out all procedures, and to review all cases that the second-degree court has offered to her in its act“, further stated, this decision, reports <x>Jed into Justice<3>, Klava.
It also points out that the subject of the investigation has not applied the December 4, 2014, circuit of the Supreme Court for treatment of subjects converted to retrial, in which, according to this circuit, it is determined that the judge in charge of the case is legally obligated to assign the subject to retrial immediately to the first calendar term available to him.
One subject, according to the KDR ruling, had to do damages because of the injury at work, which had become retrial and Judge Zeka, despite having spent more than a year and four months, had taken no action.
While, the verdict is said to be a legal obligation in the 30-day term, following the acceptance of the subject in the retrial, to take all procedural actions towards resolving it.
On the other hand, the ruling said that even for second course, according to the Council's findings, it proved that the subject of the investigation had been accepted by Judge S. B, on April 27, 2021, and had held no court hearings on this occasion, even though the subject was in procedure, where five hearings were held by the preliminary judge and considered an old subject.
And as for the third course, The KDR has found that the subject of investigation from the date when it accepted the subject on March 1st 2021, had not taken any action towards its settlement until March 25th, 2022, when it was concluded, with which the counter-finance loanor was ordered to pay the court tax and the original surrender or notified copies of the Supreme Court's judgment.
In reasoning on this decision, Judge Zeka is also said, even though he has had a legal obligation to deal with the above mentioned subjects, the same has carried out other subjects that have not been legally prioritized.
And according to this decision, Judge Zeka during the conflicting period has held no hearings on conflicting issues and has made no merit decisions except certain matter of domestic violence.
As for the disciplinary sanction, the ruling says that the Council carefully considered the pre-disciplinary disciplinary measures with the Law for Disciplinary Resciplinary Responsibilities of Judges and Prosecutors and estimated that in the case of Judge Labinot Zeka, the written public sanction and temporary wage reduction for 40% for six months is proportional in proportion to the judges' violation and that the same according to the KRK will serve as a measure for the discipline of the judge and as a guarantee to the future.
The ruling regarding the disciplinary sanctions pronounced by the KDR has also confirmed the Supreme Court's ruling on January 20, 2023.
