Abstract:

Criminal Procedure Code No. 5271 (CMK) regulates judicial search and seizure issues in line with the principles laid down by the Constitution. In the case of a search by the decision of the competent authority without a judge's decision, the constitutional provisions that this decision is submitted to the approval of the judge are not included in the CMK. For this reason, whether it is necessary to give a decision to approve the search warrant by the judge is debatable in doctrine and judicial decisions. In the doctrine, some authors stated that it is not necessary to submit the search warrant given in this situation to the approval of the judge. Some authors also stated that the provisions of the Constitution have the ability to be applied directly, and it was concluded that the search warrant should be submitted to the approval of the judge. When the subject is examined in terms of high judicial decisions, it is seen that the comments made by the first-instance courts on the subject are out of the scope of the review. In this study, opinions in the doctrine and judicial decisions will be evaluated.
