Petition of Unconstitutional

A. Rule Governing the Issuance of Specially Stamped Passports to Lawyers

Subject Matter Rule

The rule in question stipulates that lawyers who are investigated or prosecuted for certain crimes should not be given special stamped passports, limited to the duration of the investigation or prosecution.

Reason for Cancellation Request

In summary, in the petition; It has been argued that the rule in question limits the freedom of travel by stipulating certain conditions for lawyers in terms of holding a special stamped passport, and that the rule is unconstitutional.

Court’s Evaluation

As stipulated in the rule, it is clear that not giving a specially stamped passport to the person concerned on the grounds that he is being investigated or prosecuted for certain crimes does not result in the person being described as a criminal and penal sanction.

The fact that the legislator stipulates certain conditions while making arrangements regarding the persons who can benefit from special stamped passports is only a limitation for obtaining such passports. Accordingly, the rule in question, which can be summarized as stipulating certain conditions in order to reach the opportunities provided by being able to go abroad as a special stamped passport holder, does not have an aspect that restricts the freedom to go abroad, which is guaranteed in Article 23 of the Constitution.

Since it can be said that lawyers who are under investigation or prosecution for certain crimes and those who are not, are in a similar situation to make comparisons, it can be said that a difference is created between them by the rule.

The fact that lawyers within the scope of the rule subject to the case cannot obtain special stamped passports is not of a permanent nature and is limited to the duration of the investigation or prosecution carried out for the aforementioned crimes.

A suitable balance has been established between the aim pursued by foreseeing the aforementioned difference in the conditions regarding the acquisition of the opportunity to obtain a special stamped passport and the means envisaged by the rule. In this context, according to the purpose of foreseeing the said difference brought by the rule, an excessive burden was not imposed on the lawyers within the scope of the rule. In this respect, there is nothing contrary to the principle of equality in the rule.

For the reasons explained, the Constitutional Court decided that the rule was not unconstitutional and that the request for annulment was rejected.

B. The Rule Restricting the Freedom to Travel Abroad

Subject Matter Rules

Those whose passports have been revoked due to their membership or affiliation with or affiliation with structures, formations or groups, or terrorist organizations that are determined to pose a threat to national security in the rules subject to the case, and those whose passports have been taken administrative action against being issued a passport, shall be made by law enforcement units, provided that they meet the conditions specified in the rules. According to the results of the research, it has been regulated that a passport can be issued by the Ministry of Interior.

Reason for Cancellation Request

In summary, in the petition; It has been argued that the rules are contrary to the Constitution, stating that the Constitution gives authority to the administration in an area where the Constitution explicitly stipulates a judge’s decision, eliminates the opportunities for individuals to work abroad, and creates a disproportionate intervention in their private lives.

Court’s Evaluation

Article 23 of the Constitution states that a citizen’s freedom to go abroad can only be limited by the decision of a judge, depending on the reason for a criminal investigation or prosecution.

Since certain conditions are stipulated by the rules in question for those who are allowed to obtain a passport, the rules impose a limitation on the freedom to go abroad. Granting this opportunity to some people by the rules results in the fact that passports cannot be obtained for those who are not given the opportunity, therefore, the rules in question impose a limitation on the aforementioned freedom for these people.

A regulation regarding the freedom to go abroad, which is one of the dimensions of freedom of movement and which is under special guarantee, must not be contrary to the limitations stated in Article 13 of the Constitution and the guarantee envisaged here.

It is clear that the rules subject to the case restrict the issuance of passports to individuals regardless of the reason for the criminal investigation and prosecution and the decision of the judge.

Considering that the freedom to go abroad can only be limited due to a criminal investigation or prosecution and is subject to the guarantee of a judge’s decision pursuant to Article 23 of the Constitution, it is seen that some of the reasons for restriction stipulated by the rules in the case do not comply with the limitations stated in the aforementioned article of the Constitution and are against the guarantee of the judge’s decision attached to these reasons. . In this respect, the rules limit the freedom to go abroad in violation of the Constitution.

For the reasons explained, the Constitutional Court decided that the rules were unconstitutional and that they were annulled, and that the decision would enter into force one year after its publication in the Official Gazette.

Likely Uninterrupted Crime

Uninterrupted crimes are divided into two as compulsory uninterrupted crime and possible uninterrupted crime in the doctrine.
Mandatory uninterrupted crime naturally occurs for a certain period of time with the realization of the act in the legal definition.
It is called continuous crime. The crime of deprivation of personal liberty (Article 109 of the TCK), housing
The crime of violating the immunity (Article 116 of the TCK) is a compulsory uninterrupted crime. A possible uninterrupted crime is normally not a continuous crime, but
In some cases, crimes that are committed without interruption are called probable uninterrupted crimes. E.g
TCK m. Although the crime of gratuitous use in 163/1 is not a continuous crime, art. gratuitous in 163/3
The crime of exploiting is carried out as an uninterrupted crime. Electricity available on subscription basis
energy, water or natural gas without the consent of the owner and determining the amount of consumption
If it is consumed in a way that prevents it, since the gratuitous benefit continues during the usage period, m.
163/3 takes place in the form of uninterrupted crime.

What is Salary Foreclosure?

Salary Seizure is regulated in Article 83 of the EBL. Here, in order to send a salary lien to the workplace of the debtor, the follow-up must be finalized. After the proceeding is finalized, the creditor from the enforcement office decides to place a lien on the debtor’s salary. However, no more than ¼ of his salary can be deducted without his consent.

With Article 90 and its continuation of Law No. 5510, it has been regulated that retirement pensions can only be seized due to alimony and SGK premium debts, and cannot be blocked or seized due to other receivables. In this case, the lien cannot exceed ¼ of the pension.

In addition, the consent of the debtor is required to be able to place a lien on the pension. After the Supreme Court follow-up is finalized, the consent given during the foreclosure is accepted as a valid consent. On the other hand, it may be possible for the bank to deduct the entire salary deposited in the bank account due to salary lien. The person under the threat of foreclosure should also notify the bank that the account in the bank is a salary account.

Service Detection Litigation

As a rule, employers are prohibited from employing uninsured workers. Since the insurance is the social security of the worker, the legislator has foreseen an obligation in this direction in case of abuse of this situation by the employer and stipulated a certain sanction if the employer does not comply with the rule. However, in practice, workers are unfortunately employed for various reasons without insurance or with under-reporting of insurance. It is possible for workers who cannot object to this situation while working, to file a lawsuit to ensure that their retroactive insurance is deposited after leaving the job, with a service determination case. Service determination lawsuit is a lawsuit filed by the worker who is employed without an insurance notification and without paying the premiums, in order to compensate for this period of time he worked without insurance, as if he had worked as an insured.

Worker Who Wants to File a Case for Detection of Service,

The defendant must make sure that the workplace is one of the workplaces that meet the conditions in accordance with the provisions of Social Insurance and General Health Insurance No. 5510.
The service must have been seen as uninsured by the claimant worker and in this case it must not have been detected before by SSI.
The subject of the lawsuit regarding the service determination case should be long-term insurances.
The worker must file the case within 5 years. (There are exceptional cases.)
The plaintiff worker, who has filed a service determination lawsuit, is obliged to prove the dates and work he claims to have worked. Witness statements are of great importance in the determination and proof of this issue. Proof in the service determination lawsuit may be possible with the testimony of the plaintiff worker, his colleague with whom he works, or the testimony of the worker or workers working in the neighboring workplace. In practice, the Courts select 4-5 (the number of witnesses may increase or decrease depending on the length of service) payroll witness and invite them to the hearings to be heard in the case.

The worker who filed a service determination case (if the worker has passed away, his legal heirs – mother, father, spouse, brother, etc.) opens the case against the employer, and if the employer has more than one, against each of them.
