Undertaking Evidentiary Actions for the Benefit of the Defence
Article 302

If the suspect and his defence counsel believe that a certain evidentiary action needs to be taken, they will propose to the public prosecutor that it be undertaken.

If the public prosecutor rejects the proposal for conducting certain evidentiary action or does not decide on the proposal within eight days of the date of its submission, the suspect and his defence counsel may submit the proposal to the judge for the preliminary proceedings, who issues a decision thereon within eight days.

If the judge for the preliminary proceedings grants the proposal of the suspect and his defence counsel, he will order the public prosecutor to undertake the evidentiary action and will determine a deadline for its conduct.
